ETS Summer Faculty Fellowship

By April 1, 2009January 24th, 2018Grants, Fellowships, Awards, Vita

I am very excited to have been awarded a 2009 Education Technology Services Summer Faculty Fellowship.  The project I will be working on this summer, Socratic Politics in Digital Dialogue, is designed to explore the opportunities digital expression offers to enhance, deepen, expand and promote my academic scholarship in philosophy by focusing on issues related to the Socratic practice of politics. 

During the course of the summer, I will work closely with the TLT staff to brainstorm ideas, produce digital content, develop new and enhance existing tools of digital expression in order to model a practice of using Web 2.0 technologies as a mode of philosophical research that is also socially and politically engaged. The point will not be to research the impact of technology on philosophy, but to explore the possibility of pursuing rigorous academic philosophical research using digital media and innovative technology.
