Proposals for interactive workshops related to teaching and learning philosophy at any educational level are welcome. We encourage creative approaches to individual or panel workshops on:


Innovative and successful teaching strategies
How work in other disciplines can improve the teaching of philosophy
Engaging students in philosophy outside the classroom
Innovative uses of instructional technologies
The challenge of teaching in non-traditional settings
Methods to improve student learning
Professional issues connected to teaching

Selected presentations will be considered for inclusion in AAPT Studies in Pedagogy, Volume 3, on inclusive pedagogies. Proposals on that theme are especially encouraged.


Proposals should include:
Session title
Length of the proposed session (60 or 90 minutes)
A one-to-three page description of what the session seeks to achieve,
including an account of what participants will do during the session
A list of references, especially to relevant pedagogical literature
Descriptions of any useful handouts to be provided
Any equipment needed
Contact information for each presenter, including institutional affiliations,
may be included in the email or in a separate cover sheet.
Please include a 100-200 word abstract suitable for the conference program.


To facilitate blind review, no identifying information should appear in the proposal.
