Folks:

This Friday at the Central APA around lunchtime, the CPIP (Committee on Pre-
College Philosophy) is sponsoring a special session (IV-K; 12:45-2:45)
demonstrating philosophy with children. This falls right after the special
session on Sara Ruddick in which many of us may have a shared interest.

Local students in elementary, middle, and high school will be showing how
philosophy can be done. Yes, that's right kids who love philosophy are coming to
the APA!  What's more, some of the students come from Bart Schultz's Civic
Knowledge Project program, so there is a definite social justice twist, here.

This is very exciting, and an unusual opportunity for you and your colleagues to
see "philosophy with kids"/pre-college philosophy in action across a variety of
age groups.  Normally this experience would require going into multiple schools
over the course of days. If you are going to Central APA, please consider
attending, yourselves, and let your colleagues attending Central APA know as
well. Let's get these young folks an audience!

Best,
  Alison
