2017 Jun 5

University of Dallas doctoral candidate Pavlos Papadopoulos of Dallas, Texas, was recently awarded the prestigious Richard M. Weaver Fellowship from the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI). Papadopoulos is currently pursuing his doctorate in political philosophy in the Institute of Philosophic Studies (IPS).

One of four fellowships available through the ISI's Graduate Fellowship Program, the Weaver Fellowship awards up to $15,000 to students intending to use their advanced degrees to teach.

“I am looking forward to participating in the graduate colloquium for Weaver Fellows, which will be an excellent opportunity to deepen my knowledge of the Western tradition in a stimulating community of liberal learning," said Papadopoulos. “I am honored and grateful for the opportunity the Weaver Fellowship will afford me in the coming year.”

Papadopoulos serves as an adjunct instructor of philosophy at the University of Dallas and has helped instruct and co-design course curricula in the History and Politics Departments. He received his Master of Arts in Politics from the University of Dallas and his bachelor's from St. John’s College. Papadopoulos intends to defend and complete his dissertation, “The Philosopher as Author: Plato, Cicero, and Hobbes on Writing and Political Philosophy,” by 2018. In January, he was awarded the Braniff Graduate Student Association Service Award.
