Michael McShane

• Associate Professor of Great Ideas and Philosophy

Michael McShane, with Professor Seemee Ali, is co-founder and co-director of the Hannibal Lecture Series, a Carthage series providing some 12 lectures annually, formal discussions primarily focused on Heritage texts.

Professor McShane also co-founded and co-organizes (with Professor Ali) a number of Hannibal spin-offs, such as the Hannibal Book Club (an opportunity for students to prepare for the Hannibal Lectures by reading or re-reading the relevant books), the annual HanniBall (gala fundraiser for the lecture series), and – in the future- the Delenda Press's Hannibal Lecture imprint (an enterprise dedicated to publishing the lectures).

He joined the Carthage faculty in 2008. Read more.
