The American Association of Philosophy Teachers

Since our founding in 1976, The American Association of Philosophy Teachers (AAPT) is dedicated to the advancement of the art of teaching philosophy. To this end the organization sponsors a Biennial Workshop-Conference on teaching philosophy, a seminar and workshops on teaching and learning in philosophy, the Lenssen Prize for scholarship on the teaching of philosophy, small grants for innovation in teaching, the journal AAPT Studies in Pedagogy, and other programs. 

Please consider donating, as you are able, to our 50th anniversary capital campaign–$50k for the 50th–to support excellence in teaching philosophy for the next 50 years.
