Katie Busch

Undergraduate

My name is Katie Busch and I am a freshman in the College studying Moral & Political Philosophy and Psychology. I am interested in criminal justice and philosophical questions regarding the justification for punishment as well as the study of how society determines moral and cultural norms.

Regarding philosophy for the young: I am passionate about teaching philosophy to youth because I firmly believe that strong critical thinking is the most important skill one can develop. I also believe that attempting to tackle the moral and existential questions philosophy poses provides an opportunity for tremendous personal growth and holds the potential to greatly shape a person's thoughts and actions, especially if introduced at a young age.
