CFP: AAPT volume
Call for AAPT Chapter Proposals
In 1977, Terry Bynum and Sydney Reisberg published Teaching Philosophy Today, in response to requests from participants in the first National Workshop-Conference on Teaching Philosophy, the conference that eventually led to the founding of the AAPT. Teaching Philosophy Today was republished in 2012 by the Philosophy Documentation Center and is available for free to AAPT members. After requests from current members, the AAPT Board has decided to publish a volume based on presentations from the 20th Biennial International Workshop-Conference on Teaching Philosophy, edited by Emily Esch and Charles Wright. We hope this will be the first of an ongoing series of volumes that will allow the AAPT to disseminate the pedagogical wisdom of its members to a wider audience.
If you are interested in turning your presentation into a brief chapter in the volume, please turn in a 500 word description of your chapter to Emily Esch, emily.esch@gmail.com, by August 25. Feel free to include any supporting documents, like handouts or teaching aids; these will not be included in the word count. We expect the final chapters to be similar in tone and substance to an article in Teaching Philosophy or other pedagogical journals.
We encourage submissions of both practical and theoretical proposals. We anticipate the final chapters to run between 3000-5000 words, depending on the topic. The editors will send notifications of acceptance by September 5.
Submission Deadline: August 25, 2014
