Heather Wilburn, visiting assistant professor of philosophy at Morningside College, recently had a paper published in the Southwest Philosophy Review.

The paper, titled “Elements of an Adornoesque Ethics: Speculative Thinking and Materiality,” discusses beliefs of philosopher and social critic Theodor W. Adorno, a German philosopher who was prominent in the 1960s and 1970s.

The Southwest Philosophy Review is a peer-reviewed forum for philosophical inquiry that welcomes contributions from all philosophical perspectives. It is published twice annually by the Southwestern Philosophical Society.

Wilburn came to Morningside this fall after serving as a lecturer at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater. Her area of specialty is 19th- and 20th-century continental philosophy, Adorno, and post-Kantian ethics. She received her doctorate in philosophy from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.
