Description

Participants will read some of the best literature regarding inclusive pedagogy in philosophy. The goal is not primarily to provide tips, although we will provide some. Rather, the workshop is designed to enhance participants’ ability to make highly effective pedagogical choices. The interactive sessions provide opportunities for participants to reflect with colleagues on how to individualize evidence-based best teaching practices to one’s own teaching context. The workshop is intended primarily for people working within philosophy departments in higher education.

Eligibility & Fees

We have space for 20 participants, and encourage participants from diverse institutions and in different stages and within different career paths, including graduate students, adjunct faculty, lecturers, VAPs, and tenure-line faculty (both teaching and research). Because of generous support from the American Philosophical Association participation in this event is free. Additionally, each participant will receive a $200 stipend after completing the workshop.

What Past AAPT Workshop Participants Have Said:

“This was the most productive and affirming single day of my entire 6.5 years of grad school.”

“For those who have been teaching a while, it is a fantastic way to revitalize your teaching without feeling judged.”

“A surprising amount of content covered in a short period of time, without feeling dense or overwhelming.  Relaxed but focused atmosphere”

“Unlike other pedagogy training I have had, the workshop made clear both what to do and why. I felt motivated and empowered to make better teaching choices.”

“It is a game changer”

“Inspirational”
