As I begin my work as Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies in the College of the Liberal Arts, I want to pause here to mention a few things about how this space will shift over the next few months.
Last semester the blog served well as a site for the cultivation of a community of learning in my PHIL200 and PHIL553 courses. All those students remain co-authors and I welcome them to post here when they are so moved. I would like you all to see this as a venue for philosophical dialogue.
It also serves as the blog for the Digital Dialogue, the audience for which continues to grow: please become a fan on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/DigitalDialogue!
I have tried to post a new episode each week but because the episodes tend to be a bit long, I have decided to try to do one every two weeks to give people a chance to listen and respond. So look for Jeremy Engels, Assistant Professor of Communication here at Penn State, next week talking with me about Uncivil Speech.
The blog will also serve as a place for discussion with students with whom I am working either informally or through independent studies. And it will continue to be a place for me to blog to think through issues related to my book project on Socratic politics.
So please continue to join me here. And of course, as always, I invite you to contribute to the discussion when you are so moved.
I do, however, also want to invite the undergraduate students at Penn State to join us at Liberal Arts Undergraduate Studies (LAUS), where we are trying to engage students across the College of the Liberal Arts.
