Livi at New College, Oxford
Olivia writes: “Moral philosophy awakens one to the manifold subtleties and paradoxes involved in how we understand and apply the most familiar of concepts; the good person, the reasonable choice, the right motivation. In so doing, I think, it makes the business of living much more interesting.”

Olivia Bailey ’07 graduated as the Valedictorian of her Middlebury class and won a Keasbey scholarship to study at New College, Oxford. She wrote a master’s thesis there on Ethics. This year, she has first worked as a teaching fellow in philosophy at Yale, and then will volunteer in Uganda as a teacher for a Swiss NGO.
