Mass Shooters and Mental Illness

In a presentation for TEDxGreenville, Furman philosophy professor Carmela Epright argues that most mass shooters are not mentally ill.  In addition to teaching at Furman, Dr. Epright is a member of the clinical faculty at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, where she teaches medical ethics to physicians, fellows, residents and medical students. She has been a member of the Furman faculty since 1999, and received the university’s Alester G. Furman, Jr. and Janie Earle Furman Award for Meritorious Teaching in 2004.
