September 2011

I'm Greg Wilsbacher, the new library liaison to the Department of Philosophy. Although I hold a tenured position in the libraries as Curator of our fantastic Newsfilm Collections (home of the Fox newsreels), I was trained as a medievalist with a PhD in British Literature from Indiana University.   My thesis crossed temporal and disciplinary boundaries by posing the ethics of reading medieval poetry within the context of a modern university. While Geoffrey Chaucer and William Langland are no longer my professional focus, I have retained a strong interest in ethical philosophy.

I'll work closely with your department's liaison to the library, Matt Kisner, to ensure that we are building the general collection in ways that support the students, your courses, and the teaching and research you undertake. I'd love the chance to have coffee with any of you to talk about your areas of interest. 

Reach me at gregw@mailbox.sc.edu or 777-5556.
