Professional philosophers have come to see the importance of public engagement more and more in recent years. But individual philosophy departments and colleges are still figuring out how this should be reflected in procedures for hiring, tenure, and promotion. How can philosophy departments and colleges support the practice of public philosophy? What challenges do supporters of public philosophy face, and how can they be addressed? This webinar, co-organized by the Public Philosophy Network and the APA, brings together four panelists to share their ideas, experiences, and resources to help make the academy a more nurturing home for public philosophy.
The panelists for the webinar are as follows:
Linda Martín Alcoff, Hunter College, CUNY Graduate Center
A. Todd Franklin, Hamilton College
Sandra Lapointe, McMaster University
Eric Schwitzgebel, University of California, Riverside
Ian Olasov, Brooklyn College, CUNY Graduate Center (facilitator)
