A Message from the Chair
Dear Alumni and Friends,
This has been a very exciting year, full of new developments and initiatives. As you will read in this Newsletter, in addition to the outstanding achievements of our students and faculty, the department is growing even stronger by adding several colleagues to our ranks.
Faculty Updates and News
All the latest news on NU Philosophy faculty activities this year, including recent honors, awards, and publications.
The Brady Program
It was an exciting year of transition for the Brady Program in Ethics and Civic life, as we welcomed our new director, Kyla Ebels-Duggan, along with two new Brady Postdoctoral Fellows, Rowan Mellor and Elizabeth Southgate.
15th Annual PhilFEST
PhilFEST is the highlight of our undergraduate community’s life in which honors students present their research in 15-20 minute presentations followed by a public Q&A. This year, an audience of almost 50 persons – faculty from inside and outside the department, students, and interested listeners at large - engaged with and vibrantly discussed our students’ fascinating series of presentations about their research results.
NPEP Update
This past year has been one of achievement and loss, a year of firsts, and hopefully, lasts. The NPEP community has seen history-making events, as well as the deep sorrow of losing a beloved brother. There have been many challenges, and the NPEP community, both inside and out, has met them head on. Despite some serious issues, the students in both Stateville and Logan have found a way to continue to grow and shine.
