CFP: Advice for Job Candidates: The Teaching Demo: American Philosophical Association Eastern Division 2016 Meeting

The American Philosophical Association (APA) Committee on the Teaching of Philosophy invites philosophers with special pedagogical expertise to participate in a Q&A session for job candidates at the Eastern Division Meeting of the APA, January 6-9, 2016, Washington, DC. We plan to begin the session with comments and advice from each expert panelist about how to best deliver an on-campus teaching demonstration, after which we will open the floor to questions from the job candidates in the audience.

We are interested, particularly, in philosophy teachers whose pedagogical work has been recognized as excellent: teachers who have received teaching awards; teachers who are trusted on their campuses to conduct formative and summative teaching assessments for the purposes of tenure and promotion; teachers who serve in some official capacity as pedagogical mentors; and/or teachers who have published in the scholarship of teaching and learning. If you have earned any of these credentials and care deeply about student learning, please consider joining our panel to share your expertise with the next generation of philosophers. The Committee is aiming to assemble a panel that is diverse in all respects.

To apply, please e-mail Katheryn Doran ([email protected]) by Monday, August 17, 2015, with the following information: In the body of the e-mail, please include your name, current or past institutional affiliation(s), contact information, and the number of searches in which you have participated. Attached to the e-mail, please include your cv and a 250-750-word teaching statement that discusses both your credentials and your teaching philosophy. The Committee will select 3-4 panelists by late August, 2015.
