"700 Words at a Time: Lessons Learned from Doing Philosophy in the Newspaper”
Wednesday, March 5, 12pm
COB2 295

For 14 years, Dr. Andrew Fiala has written a column on ethics, religion, and politics for the Fresno Bee, which also runs in other McClatchy newspapers including the Sacramento Bee. Fiala has written for a variety of other non-academic venues, and has appeared on Philosophy Talk and other radio programs and podcasts. In 2017, one of his columns was recognized by the American Philosophical Association.  Fiala's goal in his public work is to represent philosophy and the humanities to the general public, while modelling the spirit of open-minded, critical inquiry.  In this talk, he will share some examples of his public philosophy work, while reflecting upon the general challenge of writing for a general audience.
