Dr. Steven Smith, professor of philosophy and religious studies and chair of the religious studies department, is the recipient of the Humanities Teacher Award for Millsaps College.

Every year, the Mississippi Humanities Council recognizes October as the Arts and Humanities month. Each college nominates a professor to receive the Humanities Teacher Award. "I am very proud to be this award winner," Smith said. "I have a great admiration for previous winners. Millsaps has a very distinguished faculty, and I am proud to be one of their colleagues."

Smith's forthcoming book, Worth Doing, examines a wide range of moral issues, including war, in relation to ideals of personal worthiness. In addition to writing four books, Smith is the author of more than 40 journal articles and reviews.
