This talk hosted by the Thomistic Institute at Cornell will explore Aristotle’s ideas about friendship and how Thomas Aquinas engaged with those ideas in a Christian context. The goal is to encourage our audience to think more intentionally about the nature of friendship and how they can go about forming and sustaining strong friendships. The talk will be hosted over Zoom.

She earned her PhD in philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh and earned her B.A. in Philosophy and Medieval Studies (with Classics minor) at Indiana University-Bloomington.
