Please consider submitting an abstract for the following AAPT session, planned for The Teaching Hub at the Central Division Meeting of the APA in Denver, CO, from February 20-23, 2019:
“Teaching Core Texts: Plato’s Apology”
DEADLINE: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2018
The Teaching Hub is a collaborative meeting space, co-sponsored by the APA Committee on the Teaching of Philosophy (CTP) and the American Association of Philosophy Teachers (AAPT), that hosts a series of informative programs about the teaching of philosophy at divisional meetings of the APA
Format:
We are seeking presentations on interesting or innovative approaches to teaching the Apology in undergraduate classes. We hope to focus discussion mainly on pedagogy, but would be interested in various approaches to content, if they are tied to conversations about teaching. We also encourage critical approaches to teaching Plato that may challenge us to think about why and how we teach canonical texts.
Presentations should be 20 minutes in length and designed to engender conversation about pedagogy. Approximately 20 minutes of additional time will be available to each presenter for activities and/or discussion with the audience. We appreciate proposals that are creative and interactive.
Submissions:
Proposals of no more than 500 words, prepared for anonymous review, should be sent to Susan Mills, millss5@macewan.ca, by September 4, 2018. Please include a brief explanation of both your approach to teaching the core text and your experiences doing so. Supporting material, such as syllabi, handouts, or a CV, is also welcome. Submissions from faculty at all types of institutions of higher learning will be considered; we are interested in ensuring representation of a range of voices and teaching experiences.
Deadline for Proposals: Tuesday, September 4, 2018.
Selection of Presenters: September 15, 2018 (expected)
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Susan Mills at the above address.
