__  Marthe Chandler

Self-description:  I received my PhD from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1980 and have taught at Central YMCA Community College, the University of Kentucky and DePauw University where I am currently a professor of Philosophy.  My graduate work was in analytic philosophy, logic and the philosophy of science, but in 1989 I was part of an interdisciplinary group of  faculty who  designed a seminar for DePauw students on "China and Japan".  The seminar included readings from Japanese Buddhism and the Confucian Classics.  On my sabbatical in 1995/96 I studied with Robert Eno at the Institute for East Asian Studies at Indiana University and attended the NEH Summer Institute on The Chinese Classics in Translations, St. Mary's College of Maryland.  In summer of 1997 I returned to China on an East West enter China Field Trip.  As a member of the Philosophy Department and of the Asian Studies Department at DePauw, I  regularly teach a course in Classical Chinese Philosophy.  My current work is in comparative philosophy and I have received a research grant from DePauw University for work tentatively titled "Philosophical Drama in Meno and Mencius."
