Announcement and Request for Proposals
American Association of Philosophy Teachers (AAPT)
13th International Biennial Workshop-Conference on Teaching Philosophy
Alverno College Milwaukee, Wisconsin
August 2- 6, 2000
The AAPT is dedicated to the advancement and improvement of teaching
philosophy at all levels, and is the world's chief forum for
philosophy education. AAPT sponsors an educational, non-competitive
conference in a relaxed setting, where philosophy teachers can learn
and share and where families are welcome.
Workshop and panel proposals are welcome on any topic, problem, or
aspect of teaching and learning in philosophy. We especially encourage
interactive workshops and panels that deal with innovative and
successful teaching strategies, the application of philosophy to any
area or issue, connecting philosophy with other disciplines, the use
of new technologies and the challenge of teaching in new and
traditional settings. You may submit more than one proposal.
For each proposal please submit: A Cover Letter (a page separate from
the proposal): which includes your name, mailing address, affiliation
(if any), phone number, and fax and e-mail address (if any). Give the
title of your presentation, the anticipated length of time (60 or 90
minutes), style of presentation (e. g. workshop, panel, discussion,
demonstration), a list of any equipment to be used, and a one
paragraph description (100 -200 words) of the presentation suitable
for the conference program.
The Proposal ( 1 to 3 pages ): must include the title of your
presentation (without you name for blind review purposes), a summary
of your presentation - what it covers and seeks to achieve, its
methods and techniques, what participants will do and experience - a
list of the handouts and materials you will provide, and any
additional information that would be useful to the program selection
committee.
Deadline for Proposals: 1 December 1999. Early submissions are
encouraged and later submissions may be accepted if space is
available.
