Peg O'Connor
Gustavus Adolphus College Professor of Philosophy and Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies Peg O’Connor appeared as a guest on the Tuesday, April 3 edition of TVOntario’s flagship current affairs program The Agenda with Steve Paikin.
As part of its Mental Health Matters series, the hour-long program had O’Connor and three others guests talk about how people’s understanding of addiction is changing and how that is changing approaches to treatment.
While on sabbatical this year, O’Connor is an A.A. Heckman Fellow at the Hazelden Foundation in Center City, Minn. She is also working on a book titled On the Rocks is a Form of Life: Philosophy and Addiction. O’Connor also recently authored a piece for The New York Times series The Stone titled “In the Cave: Philosophy and Addiction.”
