About Shannon
Why did you choose this program?
I took logic and fell in love with arguments! I wanted to be a social justice lawyer at the time, so studying philosophy seemed like a natural fit.
How did this program prepare you for your job?
Studying philosophy made me incredibly skilled at being able to think critically about large complex ideas and think them through to a practical level. I use this skill daily, along with having to read and write at length about them for grants and reporting.
