The Public Philosophy Network is offering grants of up to $1000, as well as promotional support, to philosophers organizing public philosophy events. The events can be public-facing events working with communities outside of academic philosophy, as part of PPN's Philosophy for Everyone series. They can also be events for public philosophers themselves. Early career philosophers, philosophy students, and philosophers working both inside and outside of academia are all encouraged to apply.
PPN is open to sponsoring a broad range of events, but applicants should consider how their proposals relate to PPN's mission: "
to support philosophers who use their concepts and skills to serve communities outside of academia and to make positive changes in society; to reflect on how philosophy is transformed by various types of public engagement; [and] to support institutional changes supportive of publicly engaged work." Past PPN events may provide some additional guidance. Applicants proposing public-facing events should also consider our guidelines for best practices, available here.
Applications will close on November 13th, 2023.
Only current PPN members are eligible to apply. To become a PPN member, please visit our website: https://www.publicphilosophynetwork.net/membership
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to PPN President Ian Olasov at ianolasov@gmail.com.
