Professor McDonough has been named a Walter Channing Cabot Fellow for the academic year. These prize fellowships are given annually to a select few faculty colleagues in recognition of their achievements and scholarly eminence in the fields of “literature, history or art, as such terms may be liberally interpreted...”. The award reflects Professor McDonough’s outstanding contributions to his field, including the 2022 publication of A Miracle Creed: The Principle of Optimality in Leibniz’s Physics and Philosophy.
