A Scottish Thanksgiving

Posted on November 24, 2015 by Marcia Welsh

  • Philosophy and Religion students on their Fall Term FSP in Edinburgh enjoy Thanksgiving at the home of Dartmouth alum Andrew Newman and his wife, Margaret.                                                                           

Dartmouth Now's recent article, "Far-Flung Thanksgiving: Off-Campus Programs Celebrate," includes a description of how the Religion and Philosophy FSPs - led by Religion Professor Kevin Reinhart and Philosophy Professor Susan Brison and both held at the University of Edinburgh this term - are combining forces to celebrate Thanksgiving this year. Their Thanksgiving dinner, which will include turkey with all the fixings as well as vegetarian haggis, will be hosted in the home of a Dartmouth alum from the Class of 1974 who teaches at the university. One of the students on the Religion FSP comments, "The Dartmouth network never ceases to amaze me."
