I am pleased to be part of Cornell's effort to take a leadership role in encouraging discussion about these questions, since so much of the research and scholarship going on at Cornell plays an important part in speeding up the pace of change. She added that she hopes, in addition to supporting more undergraduate and graduate courses in all the major degree-granting schools at Cornell, EPL will develop additional programming, such as campus lectures, ongoing seminars and regular conferences. For the past eight years, under Shue's directorship, EPL has offered an annual program for young scholars, which is partly supported by the Cornell Class of '65. Moody-Adams participated in the program in 1999 as a commentator on the work of a young political philosopher. It's a program that is competitive and has attained national recognition.
Plans are under way to enhance that program through fundraising so it can be expanded.
Shue will be on leave during the fall semester to complete a book on ethical issues surrounding climate change. Shortly after the United States presidential election in November, he will travel to The Hague for an international meeting on the Kyoto Protocol, the United Nations treaty tackling global climate change. He will teach again in spring 2001. She was a Marshall Scholar at Somerville College, Oxford University, from 1978 to 1980, where she completed a second bachelor's degree in philosophy, politics and economics. She serves on the editorial boards of Metaphilosophy, Utilitas, Hypatia and Public Affairs Quarterly.
