WELCOME TO THE USC PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT
WHAT'S NEW:
NEW FACULTY: This Fall 2008 we welcome a new faculty member:
Michael

HEGEL SOCIETY CONFERENCE: The 2008 biennial meeting of the
Hegel Society of America
will take place on the Columbia campus, October 24–25, 2008. Local

NYT SUNDAY BOOK REVIEW: Embryo: A Defense of Human
Life by Chris Tollefsen and Robert George was reviewed on by the
New
York Times Sunday Book Review on February 10, 2008.
The Times praised the book's "essential and timely message."
NSF GRANT: Kevin Elliott
is co-PI for a 4-year NSF project entitled: "NIRT: Intuitive Toxicology

risks of nanomaterials, considering how those perspectives compare with
those of experts, and examining how members of the public and experts
communicate with one another about these issues.
NSF GRANT: George Khushf
recently received an NSF Grant for a project entitled: "SGER:
Complexity, Systems, and Control in Nanobiotechnology: Developing a
Framework for Understanding and Managing Uncertainty Associated with

Donougho received a Clark Fellowship for the Fall 2007 semester.
Donougho's project — "Discriminating Aesthetics: On the Formation of
Discourse About Art" — follows three narrative lines: a genealogy of
aesthetic distinction, the explication of a specifically Romantic
aesthetic, and deconstructive critiques of art and aesthetics.

Carolina Society for Philosophy will be held at Winthrop University
