Graduate student Sydney Harvey is heading to CUNY Graduate Centre
Congratulations to Department of Philosophy graduate student Sydney Harvey who, as of September 2020, will be a PhD student at CUNY Graduate Center in New York working with No毛l Carroll and Jesse Prinz.
Sydney came to U91快色 as a PhD student in Fall 2017. In 2018, she received a Fulbright U.S. Student Program Award to study at the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom with a research focus on philosophy of mind (time and perception) and aesthetics of film. Sydney was also a finalist for the 2018 Three Minute Thesis (3MT), an internationally recognized research communication competition; she had three minutes and a single slide to deliver a compelling presentation for a general audience on her thesis research 鈥.鈥&苍产蝉辫;
In her time here at U91快色, Sydney鈥檚 research interests in philosophy of film and mind have expanded to include philosophy of race. At CUNY, not only will she be working to work with Carroll and Prinz, who specialize in aesthetics and psychology, she will also have the opportunity to work with Charles Mills on his 鈥渃ommitment in making CUNY one of the leading institutes for philosophy race studies鈥 and sit in on film courses at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts.
We will miss Sydney a great deal, but we are very pleased she has found such a wonderful opportunity to pursue her current research interest, and wish her continued success at CUNY Graduate Center.
