The Teaching Hub is a series of interactive workshops and open conversations designed specifically for philosophers and created to celebrate teaching within the context of the APA divisional meetings. Jointly organized by the APA Committee on the Teaching of Philosophy (CTP) and the American Association of Philosophy Teachers (AAPT), the Teaching Hub aims to offer a range of high-quality and inclusive development opportunities that address the teaching of philosophy at all levels, pre-college through graduate school. These events, which are free to all meeting registrants, aim to bring the collegial and supportive culture of the AAPT to the APA; to stretch beyond the traditional APA format with sessions that model active learning; and to attract a broader range of philosophers to the APA divisional meetings. There is something for every philosopher at the Teaching Hub!

The 2027 Eastern Teaching Hub Co-Chairs are open to any and all session suggestions, but are particularly interested in session proposals that engage with the following themes:

• Faculty well-being in the age of AI / corporatization

• Moral harm or moral injury in the classroom

• Trauma-informed pedagogy

• Disability-informed teaching beyond accommodations

• Teaching underprepared students

• Non-Western and decolonial approaches to teaching

• Teaching as it relates to social justice

If you are interested in proposing a session / volunteering as a session organizer on these or other topics, please feel free to submit a response through the linked Google Form by May 30. Please feel free to direct any questions to the 2027 Eastern Teaching Hub Co-Chairs, Rebeccah Leiby ([email protected]) and Jordan Kokot ([email protected]).
