Dr. Eric Weber, associate professor of public policy leadership at the University of Mississippi, will discuss democracy and leadership during a Sept. 20 lecture at Bemidji State University.<\/p>\n
The lecture, this year’s Don and Gladys McDonald Philosophy Lecture Series presentation, will be held in Hagg-Sauer Hall 100 at 7 p.m. It is open to the public at no charge.<\/p>\n
The lecture, titled “Democracy and Leadership,” is based on Weber’s forthcoming book, “Democracy and Leadership: On Pragmatism and Value.” It will address the issue of developing concepts of leadership in a democratic society, a task that Weber says requires abandoning the idea that leadership is connected to a special person or class of persons.<\/p>\n
Weber’s presentation is sponsored by the Don and Gladys McDonald Philosophy Lecture Series in Applied Ethics and the College of Arts and Sciences. It is the first in a continuing series of lectures on leadership in an effort to promote the leadership program being developed at the university.<\/p>\n
Weber is an associate professor of public policy leadership at the University of Mississippi, where he has taught since 2007. He has published three books and is a regular columnist for The Clarion Ledger newspaper in Jackson, Miss. Weber has a doctorate in philosophy from Southern Illinois University Carbondale. He has bachelor’s degrees in philosophy and communication studies from Vanderbilt and a master’s degree in philosophy from Ohio University.<\/p>\n
