AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL ASSOCIATION- Sign up for this month’s APA Member Webinar: Professional Skills for a Successful Career.

 

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: Professional Skills for a Successful Career: An Introduction to “Crossover” Skills.     This webinar will address the “crossover” skills essential to any successful career—skills such as teamwork, leadership, project management, non-academic writing, proposal drafting, and marketing. Despite their importance, professionalization courses in graduate programs often fail to address these sorts of skills, and many academics are weak in these areas. The presenters will discuss a proposed syllabus for a course covering crossover skills. After introducing the syllabus, the panelists will solicit input from the audience about the crossover skills discussed, other potential skills that might merit discussion, and the resources available for presenting professionalization course materials. Graduate students, early career academics and graduate directors will benefit from this presentation and discussion, and the Committee on Non-Academic Careers will benefit from the feedback they receive.   The panelists for the webinar are Sherri Lynn Conklin, Shane Wilkins, and Martin Willard, all members of the APA Committee on Non-Academic Careers.     The webinar will be held on Wednesday, July 21 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.   Register now.   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

GOOGLE BLOCKS MY PHOTO. AGAIN.

 BELOW ARE THE LATEST PICTURES PULLED UP IF YOU GOOGLE:

"DAVID MCDONALD- PHILOSOPHER." I LEAVE IT TO YOU, WHICH PHOTOS 

ACTUALLY FIT THAT CATEGORY?

THIS IS NOT A CRITICISM OF THESE GENTLEMEN. THE QUESTION IS WHY

THEIR PICTURES APPEAR WHEN "DAVID MCDONALD- PHILOSOPHER" IS

GOOGLED. EVEN WHEN MY PICTURE IS PUT BACK UP, (USUALLY FOR 2 OR 3 

DAYS, AND THEN TAKEN DOWN AGAIN), THEIR PICTURES ARE STILL PRESENT.

HILARIOUS- "GOOGLE AND FACEBOOK DISCRIMINATE AGAINST TRUMP."

THEY HAVE BEEN PROTECTING HIM AGAINST CRITICS FOR YEARS.

DO THEY HAVE A LEGAL RIGHT TO DO SO? YES, THEY ARE PRIVATE CORPS

NOT GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. IT IS THE EXTENT TO WHICH THEY TRY TO

HIDE THAT FACT IS WHERE THE CONTROVERSY LIES.

District Wins in Invest in America Act. U.S. REP. JAKE AUCHINCLOSS.

(4TH DISTRICT MASS.)

Last week, the House of Representatives passed the INVEST In America Act , a transformational surface transportation reauthorization bill that will create well-paying jobs and bring Massachusetts’ infrastructure into the modern era. It will fix roads and bridges, upgrade transit, and invest in clean energy. In addition to an amendment that empowers local governments to improve transit, six key district provisions I advocated for were included in the bill: Beacon Street Bridle Path — $2,000,000 in funding to restore Frederick Law and John Charles Olmsted’s original design for a two-way multiuse path improving safety and accessibility for pedestrians, wheelchairs, cyclists, and micro-mobility users along the 2.3-mile length of Beacon Street. Safety Improvements at Intersection of Walnut Street & Route 140 (Foxborough) — $2,000,000 in funding to support the necessary signalization of this intersection to complete the development of nearly 250 affordable housing units. West Street and Route 27 Intersection Improvements (Medfield) — $1,440,000 in funding to enable progression from design to construction of this high crash location to support vehicular and pedestrian safety and the construction of 72 new housing units. Christina Street Rail Bridge (Needham & Newton) — $1,600,000 in funding to support the reconstruction of an accessible, shared-use bicycle and pedestrian connection between Newton and Needham, with recreational value for residents and off-road connections for employees accessing nearby businesses. Regional Bike and Walking Trail (North Attleborough Branch) — $1,500,000 in funding to create a 2.5 mile off-road, multi-use pathway connecting to a regional pathway network planned in adjacent communities, the town’s WWI Park, the Industrial Park, and community schools. Taunton River Trail — $4,800,000 in funding to construct a segment of a planned 22+ mile continuous network of off-road and on-road bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure to connect Taunton, Dighton, and Somerset along the Taunton River.  Additionally, the Water Quality Protection and Job Creation Act of 2021 passed with the INVEST Act. This clean water legislation provides over $40 billion to the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, which is the primary source of federal funding to deliver clean water to support communities with long standing combined sewer outflow challenges like Fall River. From fixing highways to supporting affordable housing, this infrastructure bill will deliver results for every American, all while creating jobs right here at home to get it done. As we work with this Administration on a build back better policy, Massachusetts can lead the way. From Taunton to Newton and beyond, we have the talent and tools to build a more fair and prosperous economy. All we need is better infrastructure. Now, we can build it. Sincerely, Jake Auchincloss Member of Congress

Our first deadline. Pat Ryan, ServeNY

 Hi David,

I launched ServeNY this year with a mission to support candidates driven by service to their communities—from frontline healthcare workers to military veterans—who are running for local office across New York State. Our first round of endorsements included exceptional candidates with strong records of service that spanned the entire state. 

ServeNY is off to a great start with a dynamic slate of endorsed candidates and great media coverage including Politico and the WSJ! Our FIRST fundraising deadline is on Sunday, July 11th, and it's important that we keep this momentum going!

This fall, we look forward to supporting more local candidates with another round of endorsements. ServeNY will continue to endorse candidates that bring a tremendous diversity of experience, including military service, educators, and healthcare workers. Our candidates are community leaders, who are driving change at the local level.

I am committed to helping restore faith in our politics by supporting other service-driven local leaders across our state. We decided to embark on this journey because I know that ServeNY’s endorsement, support, and mentorship can have a major impact in helping these candidates and their communities succeed. We’re committed to restoring faith in our politics by supporting service-driven local leaders across our state.

Thank you for your support!

Pat Ryan
