WATCH AD FREE https://media.benedictine.edu/videos/after-classWhy does literature matter in the information age? If we read to experience the lives of others, what does great literature offer that we can’t find through video games, movies, or television? Dr. Edward Mulholland is the man to ask. Professor Emeritus Edward Mulholland served as the Sheridan Chair of Classics at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, and now teaches in the Sheridan Center for Classical Studies graduate programs at the college. Born in the Bronx, New York, he earned his master’s degree in classics from the University of London, England, and received both a licentiate and a Ph.D. in philosophy from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. He now serves as Chancellor of St. Martin’s Academy in Ft. Scott, Kansas. AFTER CLASS at Benedictine College is a conversation show between real students and real professors. Hosts Trey Smith and Collin England are guided by a central question, “What is the good life, and how do I live it after college?” Heir to the 1500 years of Benedictine dedication to learning, Benedictine College’s mission as a Catholic, Benedictine, liberal arts, residential college is the education of men and women within a community of faith and scholarship.
