(Rockstar) Assoc. Professor of Philosophy, Southern Methodist University.
I've learned a lot from her about teaching, learning, publishing, and taking time to laugh. We first met at the four-day seminar on teaching and learning in philosophy run by the American Association of Philosophy Teachers (AAPT) in 2012. After attending a seminar on facilitating that sort of seminar at another AAPT Biennial Conference/Workshop on Teaching and Learning in Philosophy, we facilitated a few one-day seminars together. Alida has since done much more in philosophy and pedagogy not to mention her work as a thespian. Check out everything she does and try to keep up : )
Professor of Philosophy, Claremont McKenna College.
I met Dr. Locke at an American Philosophical Association (APA) - Central Division Meeting. A fellow graduate student and I were giving talks in the same colloquium on the metaphysics of dispositions. Locke was my commentator. I was arguing for a position that he was very sympathetic to. I actually invited him to join the Q&A session in light of the fact that he had been studying the issue much longer than I. It was an excellent session - I learned a lot. Many years later I discovered his work in the study of teaching and learning in philosophy. As it turned out, he had been putting together a system very similar to the one that I was developing. The details differ greatly, but the elements of his pedagogical frameworks and mine align quite well. Not only has he shaped some really significant pedagogical tools, I have benefitted greatly from his analytic research that supports the framework.
Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of Cincinnati.
Another rockstar philosopher and teacher. I met Dr. Jacquart at a workshop on how to facilitate pedagogy workshops offered by the American Association of Philosophy Teachers (AAPT - here), and have never stopped learning from her approach to philosophy and the study of learning and teaching of it. Besides the excellent innovative graduate learning experiences and those focused on learning about the philosophy of science, Dr. Jacquart hosts this awesome resource for philosophy teachers — (https://melissajacquart.com/teaching/active-learning-activities/).
