I had so much fun teaching philosophy at the Hamilton College Summer Program in Philosophy in June-July. It was a unique program, I got to meet the best philosophy students and teachers in the process! Thank you @bethmcmurtrie.bsky.social for your article about the program in the @chronicle.com
A Summer Camp Where Professors Are the Focus
