Dear David, Philosophers Beyond Academia: A Conversation with Damon Horowitz We’re pleased to announce that our second Philosophers Beyond Academia event will be held at this year’s Eastern Division meeting in New York: A Conversation with Damon Horowitz. Horowitz, who earned his Ph.D. in philosophy from Stanford University, is a philosophy professor and serial entrepreneur, working at the intersection of technology and the humanities. He recently served as Consulting Philosopher at AltSchool, a B-corp focused on using technology to bring personalized progressive education to a broader population. Previously, he was In-House Philosopher/Director of Engineering at Google, leading a company-wide personalization initiative with a focus on data privacy issues. We invite you to join us for this event on Tuesday, January 8, at 7:30 p.m. at the Sheraton New York Times Square in New York City. Registration for this event is free, and a reception sponsored by the Prindle Institute for Ethics at DePauw University will follow. If you are unable to attend the New York event in person but would like to be contacted about future events and resources for philosophers working outside the academy, please join the APA’s Philosophers Beyond Academia Network. We look forward to seeing you in New York! All the best, Amy E. Ferrer Executive Director P.S.
