We’re grateful for your hospitality, Eastern Michigan University. And safe travels to all #AAPT26 attendees!
Here at #AAPT26, we’re glad to celebrate with our friends at @plato-philosophy.bsky.social, which turns 30 this year. Their 30 Years, 30 Voices series is on loop in the Strong Atrium throughout the conference: youtube.com/playlist?lis...
In one of this morning’s AAPT’s Greatest Hits sessions, Sarah K. Donovan, Mo Janzen, & Andrew P. Mills reprised their workshop on Teaching Personas and Instructional Design. #aapt26
Last night #AAPT26 enjoyed philosophy trivia, which featured a Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy crossword puzzle, a round based on memorable recent Daily Nous posts, and a philosophy of film “top ten.” Thanks to Russell Marcus and the Hamilton College undergraduate judges for hosting.
David W. Concepción introduces tonight’s #aapt26 plenary session, which features two recent winners of the David W. Concepción Prize for Excellence in Philosophy Teaching, Melissa Jacquart and Alex Stehn.
