Upcoming teaching demos of job candidates for Truman philosophy faculty position

Hi, PHRE majors and minors.

Some of you may already know that the Philosophy and Religion Department has been granted permission to advertise for a one-year temporary professor position in ethics and other value areas of philosophy. The person appointed to that position will be joining our PHRE faculty for the next academic year.

This week and next, the Department will be hosting visits by two candidates for that position. As part of those visits, each candidate will be giving a “teaching demo.”

We on the PHRE faculty would like to encourage you to attend one or the other (or both) of those teaching demos (which I believe will be on some topic in ethics). The demos are a great opportunity for you to “weigh in” on the candidate to be hired by Truman. Students in attendance will be able to fill out a feedback form about the teaching demo.

Here is the schedule for those demos:

• Wednesday, April 10, 2:30-3:30 p.m., Baldwin 350: Jason Wyckhoff
• Monday, April 15, 2:30-3:30 p.m., Baldwin 350: Evan Williams

Hope you might be able to attend one or the other of these sessions.

— Prof. Mohler
