TRANSACTIONS VOLUME 24

 

The 42nd Annual Meeting of the Society of Fellows of Dyson College kicked off with a morning plenary panel, showcasing the work of four students from programs as far afield as English Language and Literature, Biology, Philosophy, and Psychology. These students delivered papers on a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from original poetry evoked by life in Harlem to the ethics of superheroes, the ecology of invasive and native plants in the Hudson River, and the strength of cross-party relationships between Democrats and Republicans. Guided by the faculty moderator from Economics, the discussion that featured thoughtful questions from the audience challenged us to think harder about critical issues that concern our civilization and the planet.

Together, all these works offer a glimpse of the exciting research and writing (and performing) that undergraduate students have engaged in across the fine arts, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences at Pace in the past year.

LEX NATURALIS VOLUME 6

This volume explores the tenuous connection between contemporary moral problems and what rights the Founders considered sacred.

The journal seeks to present the vitality and variety of thought within that community of intellectuals who cannot and will not separate ethics from the conclusions that have been and are still being drawn from natural law.
