Intentional Disruption: Expanding Access to Philosophy

Intentional Disruption: Expanding Access to Philosophy is intended for those interested in pre-college philosophy; the nine contributions within cover a wide array of approaches to bringing philosophy to younger students in a number of new settings. The chapters in this book describe programs taking place across the United States-some inside school and some in unexpected settings such as camps, art museums and nature trails-and offer help to those who want to establish or enrich philosophy programs at pre-college levels while discussing an underlying philosophy and the challenges the programs have faced. At a time when institutional philosophy is imperiled, the programs in this volume point towards new directions being forged to bring the benefits of doing philosophy to more people.

This volume will be of particular interest to those interested in pre-college philosophy, and it is intended for philosophy professors, graduate students in philosophy or education, and philosophy teachers in pre-college settings. Intentional Disruption: Expanding Access to Philosophy will also be helpful to school administrators, parents and philosophy camps instructors.
