Minneapolis Campus
When
\n3 consecutive days in the range 7&ndash\;11 August\, 2023\, based on your availability and preference.
\nWhat
\nThis workshop is for philosophy teachers who would like to integrate statistical concepts or methods into their curricula&mdash\;e.g.\, in critical reasoning\, epistemology\, and philosophy of science courses&mdash\;but have a pedagogical barrier or uncertainty that they want to overcome or resolve with a group of like-minded instructors. Each participant will have two hours during the summer workshop\, arranged how they would like\, to describe\, test\, and receive feedback on a lesson plan\, assignment\, etc. with the entire group.
\nIn addition\, there will be introductory presentations and discussions by two workshop facilitators on a variety of statistical ideas that would serve as helpful background for the variety of topics that will or could be broached during the workshop and in teaching philosophy using statistics more generally.
\nAttendees from outside the Twin Cities Metro area will receive free single en suite accommodations near campus and at least $400 towards travel expenses.
\nWhy
\nDespite their intrinsic and extrinsic importance in modern societies\, statistical ideas are rarely incorporated into philosophy teaching. This workshop will take some first steps toward building a community of philosophers unified around teaching the foundations\, implications\, and limitations of statistical ideas.
