APA BLOG: SYLLABUS SHOWCASE
Blog of the American Philosophical Association: Syllabus Showcase Series
As of March 2024, I became an editor of the APA Blog’s “Syllabus Showcase” series, in which academic philosophers discuss and share their most innovative, successful, or philosophically significant syllabi. I am excited to solicit philosophy syllabi dedicated to underrepresented traditions in philosophy, syllabi that engage with contemporary political questions, syllabi that approach traditional philosophy in new ways, and syllabi that situate philosophy within the larger constellation of intellectual history.
Upcoming in the Syllabus Showcase series:
American Philosophy (April 2024)
Ethical Philosophy: Ethics of Torture (May 2024)
Liberalism and its Critics (June 2024)
MAP website
MAP at the University of New Mexico
Mission: MAP’s mission is to address structural injustices in academic philosophy and to remove barriers that impede participation in academic philosophy for members of marginalized groups. Through our international organizing team and graduate student-led network of autonomous chapters around the world, we aim to examine and dismantle mechanisms that prevent students from marginalized groups from participating in academic philosophy, as well as to promote philosophical work done from marginalized perspectives, and help improve working conditions for scholars from marginalized backgrounds.
Past Events with MAP at the University of New Mexico: Screening: Olsson’s Concerning Violence (2018), Screening: Jarman’s Wittgenstein (2018), Panel on Van Norden’s Taking Back Philosophy: A Multicultural Manifesto (2018) Panel on Schulman’s Conflict is not Abuse (2017)
GSC website
Mission: The Graduate Student Council (GSC) was formed by the APA board of officers in 2016, and the GSC's inaugural membership began their work in 2017. The GSC serves as a liaison between the graduate students in the discipline of philosophy and the APA, reporting to the APA board of officers on issues of interest, concern, and relevance to philosophy graduate students. The GSC chair is a voting member of the APA board of officers. The GSC advises the board on how to best serve and support graduate students, occasionally undertaking projects at the board's request. Additionally, the council regularly undertakes projects of its own that further its goals.
Project highlights: APA Pacific 2023 Panel: Trans Philosophy; APA Central 2023 Panel: Philosophy in Times of Crisis; Webinar: Teaching Philosophy with Art + Literature (recording)
