APA/AAPT Mini-Conference on Teaching Philosophy: The Teaching Hub

The American Association of Philosophy Teachers (AAPT) and the American Philosophical Association Committee on the Teaching of Philosophy (CTP) have co- organized a two-day conference on teaching for the 2018 Eastern Division meeting. We are aiming to bring the collegial and supportive culture of the AAPT to the APA; highlight teaching within the context of an APA meeting; stretch beyond the traditional APA session format to offer sessions that model active learning; and attract a broader range of philosophers to the divisional meetings.
