Committee on the Teaching of Philosophy invites abstracts for its upcoming
session “Teaching Students How to Read Philosophy,” planned for the
2016 Central Division Meeting of the APA, March 2-5, 2016, Chicago,
IL. With this session, we are interested in exploring challenges and
techniques associated with teaching students how to read philosophy’s
dense, antiquated, and/or translated texts. The Committee is particularly
interested in fresh approaches to this problem and in pedagogical
strategies that instructors have employed successfully in the classroom.
In the spirit of active learning, the Committee asks that presenters
not read a paper, but plan a more interactive way to engage their
audience of peers.
