Introducing Curiosity in Session: Philosophy classes and workshops on the questions that matter
Curiosity in Session: Philosophy classes and workshops on the questions that matter
Curiosity in Session is Being and Becoming’s new educational initiative. It seeks to facilitate public access to philosophy while increasing public philosophical literacy through alternating bi-weekly (on alternate weeks to Cafés) Curiosity Classes and Philosophical Skills Workshops.
Philosophical Skills Workshops (“SW”), are accessible, interactive sessions featuring solo, small group, and/or large group activities; no prior knowledge is required, and no preparation is necessary.
The topic of our first Workshop is: How to Reconstruct an Argument on Saturday, May 24th from 1-3 pm.
What are Philosophical Skills Workshops?
Philosophical Skills Workshops (SW) are interactive, activity-based sessions designed to help you expand your philosophical toolkit. They require no prior experience or preparation. Led primarily by Alexandra, attendees gain hands-on experience practicing essential philosophical skills like reconstructing a philosophical argument for greater clarity and understanding, evaluating an argument for general plausibility, and identifying argumentative fallacies
Curiosity Classes (“CC”) are accessible, read-ahead seminars featuring small and large group discussions; no prior knowledge is required, but some preparation (reading ahead) is necessary.
The topic of our next class will be Social Harms and Cancel Culture. Join us on Saturday, June 7th from 1:30-3:30 pm.
What are Curiosity Classes?
Curiosity Classes (CC) are read-ahead seminars that explore the previous week’s Curiosity Café theme at a more in-depth level in a collaborative classroom environment. Led by our Director of Educational Programming Dr. Alexandra Gustafson and rotating guest facilitators, attendees read, discuss, and learn from important philosophical works in a structured and accessible environment.
Tickets are available on Eventbrite!
