Finding Forgiveness
When she was an eighteen-year-old first-year student at Emory, Stephanie Marban Cassatly 83B faced a tragedy that would change the course of her life when her mother, Jeanne Marban, was shot and killed in a convenience store robbery in New Orleans. The murder changed every preconceived notion Cassatly had about the world and what it meant to feel safe. Twenty years later, she found her mother's killer and forgave him, just before he died in the notorious Angola State Penitentiary. With searing honesty, Cassatly comes to see that finding and forgiving her mother's killer was ultimately a journey to find herself. Cassatly is an adjunct professor at Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Unequal Footing
In Counter-History of the Present, Gabriel Rockhill 03G 06PhD contests, dismantles, and displaces one of the most widespread understandings of the contemporary world: that we are all living in a democratized and globalized era intimately connected by a single, overarching economic and technological network. Noting how such a narrative fails to account for the experiences of the billions of people who lack economic security, digital access, and real political power, Rockhill interrogates the ways in which this grand narrative has emerged. Rockhill is associate professor of philosophy at Villanova University and the author of books including Jacques Rancière: History, Politics, Aesthetics and Interventions in Contemporary Thought: History, Politics, Aesthetics.
