"A New Perceptual Adverbialism"

    Are you thinking about applying to grad school in philosophy?  You are invited to an information session on Thursday 30 November 12:00- 1:15 pm, in the Philosophy Department Lounge (4th floor Cohen Hall).   Find out what the application process is like, and how to prepare for it.  Grad students in Penn’s philosophy program will share their experience as recent applicants, and I’ll be there to talk about the process.

New initiatives aim to examine and address issues of underrepresented minority participation in academic philosophy. This critical attention to who philosophers are, who becomes philosophers, and what content counts as philosophy marks an exciting change toward inclusivity. Less attention, however, has been devoted to examining inclusive philosophical methods (ways of doing philosophy) and pedagogy (ways of teaching philosophy). This involves asking distinctive questions: How do traditional philosophical methods include or exclude? To whom and for whom do we teach?
