Three ¾¨Ó㴫ý students recently attended the 27 annual Mid-South Philosophy Conference held at the University of Memphis.

The students attending were Christopher Beaver, Kara Gerhart, and Ashley Williams,  along with Dr. David Goldberg, visiting assistant professor of philosophy at ¾¨Ó㴫ý.

"I was attending to present a paper and commenting on another, so I asked the members of our philosophy honor society if they were interested in attending them as well," said Goldberg.  "I also encouraged them to submit papers to the concurrent undergraduate conference.  Ashley Williams presented her paper, The Myth of the Other: Feminism and Existentialism in Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex.'  She did an excellent job, especially during the question and answer period.

"I have made this trip in the past with students and have always found it to be rewarding for philosophy majors," continued Goldberg.  "It gives them a chance to compare their skills with those students from much larger institutions."
