[SydPhil] AAP Innovation in Inclusive Curricula Prize - Call for Entries

[Chris Lawless]

*AAP Innovation in Inclusive Curricula Prize - Call for Entries*

The Australasian Association of Philosophy (AAP) awards an annual prize of
$500 for the development of innovative approaches to teaching philosophy.
First awarded in 2014, the prize is offered with a view to exploring ways
in which undergraduate courses in philosophy can build the understanding
and practise of an inclusive discipline, concerned to foster equal
participation in the profession. The aims of the prize are to encourage
professionals developing and improving their teaching portfolios to
consider critically how philosophy is presented, and to be innovative in
implementing practices of teaching that off-set well-known disparities of
participation in the discipline, for instance along race and gender lines.

Previous winners include Alexandre Lefebvre (University of Sydney), Ruth
Boeker (University of Melbourne) and Michelle Sowey (The Philosophy Club).

The prize will be awarded at the opening of the annual AAP conference in
July.

This Prize is sponsored by Taylor and Francis, publisher of the
Australasian Journal of Philosophy and the Australasian Philosophical
Review.

*Criteria of evaluation*

   - Significant innovation in curriculum that successfully promotes equity
   and diversity within the discipline, particularly with respect to
   underrepresented or marginalised groups in the profession
   - Innovation in pedagogy that successfully promotes broader
   participation in the discipline
   - High quality in course design and delivery
