AAPT/APA Mini-Conference
on Teaching Philosophy: The
Teaching Hub
The American Association of Philosophy Teachers (AAPT) and the American
Philosophical Association Committee on the Teaching of Philosophy (CTP)
have co- organized a two-day conference on teaching for the 2018 Eastern
Division meeting. We are aiming to bring the collegial and supportive culture
of the AAPT to the APA; highlight teaching within the context of an APA
meeting; stretch beyond the traditional APA session format to offer sessions
that model active learning; and attract a broader range of philosophers to
the divisional meetings.
