Congratulations to Katherine
Schuster, coordinator of Global Studies and Madhuri Deshmukh,
Professor of English,
who have been awarded a $68,000 Fulbright-Hays Group
Projects Abroad grant from the US Department of Education. They will
lead a team of faculty from eight different Illinois community colleges,
Loyola University, and Evanston Township High School on a 5 week study
program in India this summer. Their project is titled
"In Search of Gandhi's India: Teaching and Learning Non-Violence
in a Globalized World.
Welcome
Dr. Mohamed Mehdi
The Department of Humanities and Philosophy
is extremely pleased to announce that Dr. Mohamed Mehdi will be joining
the full-time faculty at Oakton this fall. This is the culmination of
an extensive search that included scores of eminently qualified applicants.
Dr. Mehdi received his Ph.D. from McGill University in Montreal earlier
this year. His dissertation is titled: "The Political Dimension of
the Contemplative Life: Engagement and Disengagement in Plato, Seneca
and Gandhi"
As his dissertation might suggest, Mohamed specializes in Political Philosophy,
Ancient Philosophy, and Modern Indian Philosophy.
Despite spending most of his life in Canada, he has strong ties to the
Chicago area, including a stint teaching at the Illinois Institute of
Technology. Dr. Mehdi brings with him a wealth of interdisciplinary teaching
experience that will serve Oakton students well. We are very much looking
forward to his contributions to our department.
Please join me in extending a warm welcome to Mohamed when he arrives in August 2008.
