From the Vault: Philosophy in Teaching and Public Life
While Justice Everywhere takes a short break over the summer, we recall some of the highlights from our 2021-22 season.
Justice Everywhere has several special series that explore philosophical issues relating to an important theme. Here are links to those that ran in 2021-22 with a flavour of the topics their posts address:
In our Beyond the Ivory Tower series, organised by Aveek Bhattacharya, which speaks to researchers about their engagement with “real world” politics:
- An interview on theory, politics, and socialism with Paul Magnette by Pierre-Etienne Vandamme
- An interview on linking philosophy with public and political affairs with Philippe van Parijs by Diana Popescu
In our Teaching Philosophy series, organised by Sara Van Goozen, which interviews scholars on ethics issues involved designing and delivering university courses in philosophy:
- A discussion about jettisoning the philosophical canon with Liam Kofi Bright
- A discussion about deprioritising grading with Marcus Schultz-Bergin
In our series on fatigue, organised by Zsuzsanna Chappell, which explores the political and social consequences of fatigue that have come to the fore in recent years:
- Lisa Herzog’s post on how exhausting citizens poses a danger to democracy
- Zsuzsanna Chappell’s post on the need for policies that ensure everyone in society has the energy for personal flourishing and social and political participation
Stay tuned for even more in these series in our 2022-23 season!
