AMERICAN PHILOSPHICAL ASSOCIATION: Calls for Proposals: The AAPT-APA Teaching Hub at the 2021 Eastern Division meeting.

Dear DAVID, The APA Committee on the Teaching of Philosophy (CTP) and the American Association of Philosophy Teachers (AAPT) invite proposals for Teaching Hub sessions at the 2021 Eastern Division meeting in New York, NY, January 4–7. Note: Currently, all three APA divisions are planning to hold in-person meetings in 2021. At the same time, we are also considering alternative formats, such as virtual meetings, as contingencies in the case that our usual meeting format becomes impossible. Though external forces like the ongoing pandemic affect and inform our plans, your participation is the most critical input for planning any meeting. If you are considering submitting a proposal, we encourage you to do so. The AAPT-APA Teaching Hub is a series of interactive workshops and conversations designed specifically for philosophers and created to celebrate teaching within the context of the APA divisional meetings. Jointly organized by the CTP and the AAPT, the Teaching Hub aims to offer a range of high-quality and inclusive development opportunities that address the teaching of philosophy at all levels, pre-college through graduate school. Please consider submitting a proposal for one of more of the following sessions at the 2021 Eastern Division meeting by July 17: Teaching Sustainability This session will highlight interesting or innovative ways to integrate environmental sustainability into philosophy courses. Rethinking Upper-Division Courses for Non-Majors This session will explore what students, especially non-majors and those who are not considering continuing to graduate school, should learn in upper-division philosophy courses. Teaching Core Texts: Mary Wollstonecraft This session will include presentations on interesting or innovative pedogical approaches to teaching Wollstonecraft’s work. The complete calls for proposals are available on the APA website. Information about the Teaching Hub poster session will be available soon. For general information about the AAPT-APA Teaching Hub, please visit the AAPT website and the CTP webpage. For specific information about the Teaching Hub at the 2021 Eastern Division meeting in New York, NY, please contact Rebecca Millsop (rmillsop@uri.edu). We look forward to receiving your proposals. All the best, David W. Concepción Chair, APA Committee on the Teaching of Philosophy P.S. Please note that all APA meeting participants are required to register for each meeting they attend.
