Introductions

Dear Young Philosophers,

Please introduce yourselves to each other.  Several of you are studying at the same school and several of you are studying the same subjects, so be sure to tell us what school you're at, what your major is, why you want to go to London, your past international travel experience if any, & other interesting things about you.  I'll start:

Hello!  My name is Cate Sherron, and I'll be your CCSA London Bioethics instructor this December/January.  I am absolutely delighted that you have signed up for my class, and I think you will be very pleased with it and our entire experience in London!  Woo-hoo!

A few things about me: 
I love bioethics! I love London.  I love teaching.  We are going to have a great class.
I have been teaching philosophy at Thomas More College in Northern Kentucky for 10 years.  Biomedical ethics (bioethics for short) is my first love:  it was a medical ethics class in college that got me hooked on philosophy.  My undergraduate degree in Interdisciplinary Studies is from Miami University (OH); my MA in philosophy is from University of Tennessee, Knoxville; my Ph.D. in philosophy (philosophy of science) is from University of Cincinnati. 

I'm married to Randy Bailey, an actor and carpenter.  We live in Ft. Thomas, KY with our two cats.  Randy will accompany us on our trip.  He's very nice; you'll like him, I'm sure.
