Please consider submitting an abstract for the following AAPT session, planned for The Teaching Hub at the Pacific Division Meeting of the APA in Vancouver, BC, from April 17-20, 2019:
“New Approaches to Early Modern Survey”
DEADLINE: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 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
With an aim of sharing and inspiring teaching that rethinks the standard canon that students typically encounter in early modern philosophy courses, we are seeking a variety of presentations on interesting or innovative approaches to teaching the early modern survey in ways that incorporate lesser-known philosophers and texts of the period. Specific ideas about course content are especially encouraged. As well, discussions about pedagogical approaches to that content are also welcome at this session.
Format: Presentations should be 20 minutes in length. 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 at millss5@macewan.ca. Since we are interested in ensuring representation of a range of voices and teaching experiences and welcome submissions from those who have taught in various types of educational institutions, please include in your proposal a brief account of your experiences with non-standard approaches to early modern philosophy. Supporting material, such as syllabi, handouts, or a CV, may also be included in addition to your proposal submission.
Deadline for proposals: Saturday, September 15, 2018.
Questions about this session should be directed to Susan Mills at the above email address.
