Diana Schaub

Diana Schaub is professor of political science at Loyola University Maryland.[1] Schaub received both her M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. She teaches and writes on a wide range of issues in political philosophy and American political thought.

Schaub was also a member of the President's Council on Bioethics,[2] and her nomination to that post by President Bush generated controversy.[3] According to a 2006 article in The New Yorker, "Schaub has compared the harvesting of stem cells to slavery, and once said in a speech, 'Every embryo used for purposes of research is someone's blood relative.'"[4]

Career

After graduating summa cum laude from Kenyon College, Schaub began her career as an assistant managing editor for the conservative magazine, The National Interest in 1985.[5] She then served as a professor of political science at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. In 2003–2005, while serving as a professor at Loyola College, Schaub taught at a series of lectures and seminars designed for high school teachers, held at Ashland University. The conference was titled, “Race and Rights in American History” and was funded by a Teaching American History grant from the U.S. Department of Education.[6]

From 2001–2007 Schaub served as the chair of the political science department at Loyola College. She now continues her teaching career as a professor at Loyola University Maryland.
