AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL ASSOCIATION. TALKING TEACHING.

Dear DAVID, The American Philosophical Association’s Committee on Teaching is proud to introduce “Talking Teaching.” “Talking Teaching” aims to provide a constructive space for discussion of matters of interest to practicing teachers of philosophy. “Talking Teaching” is a one-hour, informal conversation facilitated by a philosopher with research expertise in teaching. The first few conversations will take place at 3 pm Eastern on Fridays. As “Talking Teaching” grows, we anticipate expanding the times and days of the week. “Increasing In-class Engagement” March 8, 3 pm Eastern Dave Concepcion, Ball State University, dwconcepcion@bsu.edu “Instilling a Growth Mindset in Students to Help with Tenacity and Retention” March 15, 3 pm Eastern Kimberly Van Orman, University at Albany, kvanorman@albany.edu “Building an Online Community” March 22, 3 pm Eastern Wendy Turgeon, St Joseph's College (NY), turgeon@optonline.net “Increasing Transparency in the Classroom and Assignments” March 29, 3 pm Eastern Alida Liberman, Southern Methodist University, aliberman@smu.edu “Teaching General Education Students” April 5, 3 pm Eastern Andrew Mills, Otterbein University, andrewpmills@gmail.com “Teaching Philosophic Question-Asking” April 12, 3 pm Eastern Stephen Bloch-Schulman, Elon University, sschulman@elon.edu “Giving Effective and Supportive Feedback” April 19, 3 pm Eastern Rebecca Scott, Harper College, rscott1@harpercollege.edu “Universal Design for Learning; Increasing Accessibility” April 26, 3 pm Eastern Christina Hendricks, University of British Columbia, christina.hendricks@ubc.ca “Teaching Philosophy Graduate Students about Effective Teaching” May 3, 3 pm Eastern Melissa Jacquart, University of Cincinnati, melissajacquart@gmail.com To participate, all you need to do is email the facilitator of the session, expressing interest.
