This is a workshop aimed at graduate students and early career researchers in philosophy and cognate fields who would like to do public philosophy. Public philosophy is an increasingly valued pursuit, but it requires skills and knowledge not imparted by most graduate training.
In this workshop you will:
* Learn what makes for successful public philosophy,
* Learn the common mistakes that philosophers make when doing public writing, and how to avoid them,
* Learn how to craft a pitch for an editor,
* Learn how to approach an editor with an idea,
* Have the option of getting feedback from Anastasia on a pitch.
Anastasia Berg (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) is a senior editor at The Point magazine—an American literary magazine which has published philosophers like Martha Nussbaum, Agnes Callard, Robert Pippin, and Raymond Geuss. Anastasia’s writing has appeared in The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Times Literary Supplement, and the LA Review of Books. Her first book, What Are Children For? On Ambivalence and Choice, is forthcoming with St Martin’s Press in the US and Oneworld Publications in the UK.
