Philosophy Department has
been sponsoring an annual lecture series devoted to issues in applied
philosophy. Conceived both etymologically and semantically after Aristotle's
Lyceum, the Applied Philosophy Lyceum aims to stimulate public reasoning, as

The Conference on John
Milton
Every other Fall since 1991,
the English Department and MTSU
host a conference devoted to the work of the great English poet John Milton
(1608-74). The conference, the brainchild of Dr. Charles Durham (ENGLISH),
was originally called the Southeastern Conference on John Milton but is now
simply The Conference on John Milton. Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Durham
and Dr. Kristin Pruitt McColgan of Christian Brothers University in Memphis,
the Milton Conference has resulted in three books containing the best papers
from each conference and all published by Susquehanna University Press:
Spokesperson Milton: Voices in Contemporary Criticism, Arenas of Conflict:
Milton and the Unfettered Mind , and "All in All": Unity, Diversity,
and the Miltonic Perspective. |

Literature in Nashville. The conference, directed by Ellen Donovan and
Martha Hixon, is unlike other children's literature conferences in its focus
on critical and theoretical perspectives on children's literature rather
than on the pedagogical concerns of teaching literature or reading skills to
children. |
