AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL ASSOCIATION. Sign up for next Monday’s APA Member Webinar, “Supporting Non-Academic Careers: What Can Faculty Do?”

 

Dear DAVID,   There are myriad career opportunities available to philosophers, both within and beyond academia. Because many current philosophy graduate students and recent PhDs are interested in pursuing a variety of careers, the APA’s Committee on Non-Academic Careers has organized a webinar for members: Supporting Non-Academic Careers: What Can Faculty Do?     The webinar will include recommendations about steps departments and faculty can take to support and facilitate careers outside of academia, as well as experiences from faculty working to promote career diversity. The webinar may be especially useful for faculty in leadership positions in graduate programs, such as chairs, directors of graduate studies, and placement/career services officers.   The panelists for the webinar are the following: Mark Barber, PhD, associate chair of the APA Committee on Non-Academic Careers Carolyn Dicey Jennings, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Cognitive Science, University of California, Merced Shane Wilkins, PhD, member of the APA Committee on Non-Academic Careers Kevin J.S. Zollman, Professor of Philosophy and Social and Decision Sciences, Carnegie Mellon University The webinar will be held on Monday, October 26 at 4 p.m. Eastern time / 1 p.m. Pacific time. To participate, register on the APA website. Registration will be available until 10 a.m. Eastern time / 7 a.m. Pacific time on the day of the webinar, and access information will be provided to registrants at least one hour prior to the start of the webinar. Registration is limited to current APA members.     This webinar will offer useful advice and insight on just a few of the potential career paths for those with advanced degrees in philosophy. Space is limited, so register now! If you’re unable to attend the live webinar, a recording will be made available to APA members afterward.   All the best,   Amy Ferrer Executive Director
