Janice Freamo, a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science, has received a Fulbright Canada award to study at the University of Chicago and continue her project entitled, Generations and Genealogies: Plato and Nietzsche on the Status of the Elder.
Freamo’s project starts with the idea that the new and ever-changing technological landscape challenges traditional structures of authority. She asks the question: ‘What can we learn of the modern concept of justice by examining the treatment of the status of the elder in the history of political thought?’
