Congratulations to Professors Jay Drydyk, Myrto Mylopoulos and Vida Panitch for their recent awards!
Professor Jay Drydyk
Jay Drydyk was awarded a SSHRC Connections Grant to host the 33rd annual North American Society for Social Philosophy (NASSP) conference. This year’s theme of Power and Public Reason aims to create an occasion for critical examination of the relevance of the concept and practice of public reason to public issues in North America and beyond. It is particularly significant that this conference will be hosted by Carleton, which has just introduced a new interdisciplinary graduate program in Ethics and Public Affairs, in which public reason is a focal point. The conference takes place July 21 – 23; further details are available on the NASSP website.
Professor Myrto Mylopoulos
With co-investigator Elisabeth Pacherie (Insitut Jean Nicod, Paris), Myrto Mylopoulos was recently awarded a Templeton Foundation grant for the research project, “Executive and motivational self-control: How they interface and interact.” The grant flows from the larger Templeton Foundation grant awarded to Alfred Mele (Florida State University), “The philosophy and science of self-control” (https://philosophyandscienceofself-control.com/). Congratulations, Professor Mylopoulos!
