Striby Defends Dissertation
12/7/2007
 University of St. Thomas PhD candidate Steven J. Striby will be defending his doctoral dissertation, “Against the Principles of Nominalism” at 10 a.m. Friday, Dec. 14 in the Ahern Room, Crooker Center, 3909 Graustark. The defense is expected to last two hours. Striby is currently teaching in the Philosophy Department at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio.
The Examining Board membership will consist of University of St. Thomas Center for Thomistic Studies faculty members: Dr. Christopher Martin, chair; Dr. R.E. Houser, director; Dr. Mary Catherine Sommers, reader; Dr. Thomas Osborne, Jr., reader; and Dr. John Knasas, reader. Dr. Timothy Noone of Catholic University of America will also serve as an external reader.
When the examiners have completed two rounds of questions, members of the UST faculty will have the opportunity to ask Striby further questions. Students will also be able to ask questions of the candidate after the defense. A copy of the dissertation is available for examination in Sullivan Hall, 4218 Yoakum.
The Center for Thomistic Studies at UST is the only graduate philosophy program in the United States uniquely focused on the thoughts of St. Thomas Aquinas. The Center offers MA and PhD programs that provide a solid grounding in the Thomistic tradition and from which that viewpoint engages other philosophical traditions, ancient, medieval, modern and contemporary.
