It has been several months since I published the last entry to my blog. Final months of hard work on my dissertation were crowned with the successful defense of the project on the Last Monday (March 14th). It’s high time to share the good news here. I’m a doctor MariOP now. 🙂
At the defense of my dissertation we had an intriguing conversation with all 4 members of my committee: Fr. Michael Dodds, O.P., Terrence Deacon, Robert Russell, and Marga Vega. I hope to publish my dissertation as a book. This was also the suggestion of all the members of the committee.
Please see THE ABSTRACT, TABLE of CONTENT, and THE INTRODUCTION to my dissertation if you are interested in its topic.
In the meantime I got responses from the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis, and from the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, which are decisive about my nearest future.
First, my paper proposal was accepted for the workshop on the Classical theism organized by the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis, which will take place toward the end of July.
Later on, I’m moving for a year to Notre Dame, IN. I was awarded a year-long fellowship in the Institute for Advanced Studies. Here is the description of my project for the upcoming year.
I’m excited about all those things and opportunities working out so well for me. It’s all amazing. 🙂
