Congrats to Jon Adams

Congratulations to Jon Adams, who was awarded Chinn Scholarship from the American Atheists in recognition of his work here at Utah State (columns in the Statesman, the co-founding of SHAFT, and his involvement with College Dems and Love is for Everyone).  The award comes with a nice financial scholarship, as well as a trip to Atlanta for a ‘fun-filled weekend of events with Keynote Speaker Richard Dawkins’ (that is a quote from the website which I’ll admit I chuckled at, though in all seriousness I know Jon will have the opportunity to have dinner with Dawkins, just he and the 2 other award winners, which is pretty cool).

So back slaps to Jon (even from theists like me!) on being recognized by a national organization for his work.

Associate Vice Provost and Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Utah State University. I teach across the curriculum, but am most interested in continental philosophy, ancient and medieval philosophy as well as Catholic thought, all of which might be summed up as an interest in the ressourcement tradition (returning in order to make progress). I also enjoy spending time thinking about liberal education and its ends. View all posts by Kleiner
