Peter O'Meara graduated in 2018 with a B.A. in Philosophy and a minor in History. He spent the summer of 2016 undertaking an internship at the Institute of Ideas in London. Here's what he had to say about his experience: "My time in England at the think tank known as the Institute of Ideas proved to be a domain in which my classroom teachings could shine. In the wake of Brexit, and in preparation for our think tank's most coveted debate forum, I found myself surrounded by the foremost issues of the day. When I was called upon to investigate the issue of Bodily Autonomy, I harkened back to my articles on Oocyte Cryopreservation from Ethics Bowl. Similarly, when attending a debate regarding self-driving cars at the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, my experience in Moral Philosophy proved invaluable. When the turmoil brought about by Brexit was at a fervor, my think tank sponsored and attended a university debate on the matter, with both parties citing economic and democratic reasons for leaving and remaining. The application of my philosophy classes in a practical environment demonstrated the power of the subject beyond the ivory tower."
