\nThe committee for the Graduate Student Conferenc e on Philosophy of Education (GSCOPE) invites abstracts for papers on the topic of Higher Education\, Democracy\, and Controversy. The theme of the conference & post-conference pedagogy workshop reflects the difficulty in creating and maintaining respectful discourse in higher-education classroo ms\, especially surrounding controversial empirical\, moral\, and politica l issues. Some argue that this is an equity issue. Undergraduate students who come from rural and/or underprivileged areas are more likely to experi ence alienation on campus\, sometimes because they have never been exposed to certain “politically correct” language or ideas\, and sometimes simply because they lack the financial and social capital that their peers have. It seems crucial (and follows from democratic and civic values) to foster safe learning environments for all students\, especially those students w ho are more likely to feel alienated on college campuses and in elite spac es. At the same time\, some argue that the aim of higher education is pure ly epistemological\, and not civic or democratic. Proponents of this view might hold that free speech and academic freedom must be properly protecte d for higher education to perform its proper social function: education. W hat is the appropriate relationship between higher education\, knowledge-p roduction\, teaching\, free speech\, and democracy? How can higher educati on instructors and professors be effective teachers in the light of these relationships?
\nPapers must pertain to higher educationbut maybe ab out anything from interpersonal classroom dynamicstoinstitutional policies to campus controversy. We are particularly interested in papers that expl ore the following topics:
\nWe especially welcome contributions that:
\nAbstracts should:
\n– Outline the paper’s principal
argument(s).
\n– Give a good sense of the paper’s philosophical and/o
r empirical contributions and methods.
\n– Be anonymized.
Pro posal Guidelines:
\nPlease submit abstracts of up to 500 words by mi dnight EST on Monday\, July 31\, 2023.

\nPost-Conference Pedagogy Workshop
\nThe theme of our conference Higher Education\, Democracy\, and Contro versy is relevant to graduate student educators\, who are routinely u nder-trained and under-equipped to engage with real-life problems they may encounter in the classroom. The lack of training for higher education tea chers is a growing iue in philosophy of education.
\nThis workshop a ttends to this issue by facilitating a space for graduate student educator s to reflect on how to foster good teaching environments for controversial issues\, and be good interlocutors with each other on controversial issue s. The workshop will also touch on promoting equity in classrooms. We will provide workshop participants with a certificate of completion.
