Did I mention I also designed the 50th anniversary #logo ?! Happy birthday, #AAPT26

3rd and final full day of the #AAPT26 conference workshop. I hate to have to leave early but it’s been such an meaningful and useful experience. I can’t WAIT for 2028!!! 🤓

Today’s highlights: creative and tactile activities, promising use of ai support bots, and Pippen 🐶🥰

Thanks to both speakers for helping to remind me what I love about #teaching #philosophy 🥹 it’s exactly what I need and why I’m here #AAPT26

#AAPT26 had an amazing 1st day with the simplest and most practical solution to curbing #ai use being allow students to write in their native language 🤯🤓🙌🏽 so simple and based in justice and care for the whole #student @alexstehn

Hello world! We’ve been quiet on here lately, but busy with great things—including celebrating our 50th Anniversary. And #AAPT26, our biennial Workshop-Conference is happening now.

Day 2 of #AAPT26 wrapped! I totally kept it together 😏 at the end of the keynote celebrating the 50yr history of this amazing community for #philosophy #teachers 🥹

Other highlights from today: tons of new assignment ideas, meeting tons of #grad #students, & being motivated to try some #ungrading

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 today’s #AAPT26 sessions, participants collaborated to summarize Simone Webb’s @1000wordphilosophy.bsky.social article on Mary Astell.

Ok, so I’ve been sporting my cat 🐱 lady blouses this week along with my #philosophy swag (which I made as covid hobbies). They were a HIT! 🙌🏽🤓 I definitely want to offer to sell them at cost for #AAPT26 members. What do y’all think?
Jewelry- necklaces, bracelets, + earrings
Sweatshirt + water bottle

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.

We’re grateful for your hospitality, Eastern Michigan University. And safe travels to all #AAPT26 attendees!
