[Aapt-list] Talking Teaching this week: Sharon Mason on "How Does This Fit?: Navigating the norms of philosophy in an interdisciplinary context "

[Kimberly Van Orman]

Hi, all.

My apologies to anyone who tried to login to Talking Teaching last week. There was an issue with the meeting setting that locked some people out.
If you would like to attend a Talking Teaching this semester, please register here: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYtfu6rpz4iEt2VKDbJerTDzXQhSnXDEYLB. Once you've registered, you can use that link to attend any of the future discussions.

This Friday at noon (EDT): Sharon Mason, University of Central Arkansas

Title: How Does This Fit?: Navigating the norms of philosophy in an interdisciplinary context

What disciplinary norms in philosophy are likely to be disorienting to interdisciplinary students? How can a philosophy instructor help students make sense of philosophical methods and norms relatively quickly? I will start by giving two examples from teaching philosophical writing. The following discussion will aim to 1) identify various disciplinary norms that might trip up students, and 2) brainstorm about how to help students navigate these norms within a broader disciplinary perspective. If there is time, I'd also like to discuss how to help students understand the value of philosophical work more broadly, especially as a complement (not competitor) to other disciplines.

Hope to see you there!

Kimberly
