On April 29th Ms. Deidre Kelly successfully defended her Ph.D. Dissertation\u00a0titled “A Dual-Process Account of Moral Judgment: What Psychopaths Can Teach Us About Morality”. \u00a0The Chair was Dr. Jason Etele, and the External Examiner was Dr. Verena Gottschling and the Internal Examiner was Dr. Ivan Zinger. \u00a0The Committee consisted Dr. Andrew Brook, Dr. Adele Forth and Dr. Jim Davies.<\/p>\n

The examining board was of the view that the dissertation contained materials for a number of publishable papers.<\/p>\n
