Lectures recorded because of COVID that might be available to the public?

Brian Leiter

MOVING TO FRONT FROM JANUARY 21–SOME INTERESTING CONTRIBUTIONS IN THE COMMENTS,  MORE WELCOME

Reader Neil Webb writes:

One of the consequences of Covid is that lectures have been delivered online.

While many of those lectures will only be available to students within an institution some are available to anyone with internet access.

Would you mind asking those who do have lectures available and are happy for them to be shared more widely to provide a link so that others can benefit from them?

As I explained to Mr. Webb, often these lectures can not be shared outside the university (that is the rule here, for example).  Often student privacy rights under FERPA are implicated in sharing recordings, another obstacle.   But readers can post links to lectures being recorded during COVID that are widely available (maybe there is already an archive with such links somewhere?).

    I am very happy to share all the online courses of mine that are available.

    First, a well-produced but older "TV" course, from the days when it was broadcast on local cable. Introduction to Philosophy



    Second, a lockdown version of Introduction to Philosophy where, rather than use a textbook, I essentially wrote my own. Unfortunately, there is no way to make the lecture notes available to everyone, but the lectures are all on a dedicated YouTube Playlist.



    Third, a lockdown version of my upper division Philosophy of Psychology Course

    Introductory Philosophy of Mathematics lectures given by J.D.Hamkins at Oxford are available on YouTube. Link:

    . I think these were given last term and are intended to be for upper-level undergraduates (but I might be wrong). As someone who has no background in the philosophy of mathematics, I found them accessible and quite enjoyable.

    My colleague Bryan Roberts has been posting his lectures on Einstein on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/soulphysics

    Virtually every research seminar that occurs at LSE Philosophy is posted on YouTube, and has been for a while, so there is a large archive here: https://www.youtube.com/user/LSEPhilosophy

    When we do public Forum events at the LSE we release audio recordings of the discussions, which can be found here: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/theforum/topics/listen/

    Here are my video lectures, which anyone is free to use in their courses. They are recorded in a fancy "light-board" studio that my university has, and edited by me.

    Descartes' Meditations & Princess Elisabeth:

    The Mind-Body Problem:

    Introduction to Ethics:

    Philosophy of Law:

    Videos explaining general philosophical tools and concepts:

    What is Philosophy? (this is the first lecture of all of my lower-level undergraduate courses):

    How to Write a Philosophy Paper:

    How to Read Philosophy:

    Greetings All,

    A philosopher colleague alerted me to this thread. I've been hosting all of my university-level courses on an independent "Content Management System" of my own design since Fall 2012. In Spring 2020, I established a 501(c)3 non-profit educational organization – SPOKE-Educational Network, Inc. (aka SPOKE-Network) to serve as a permanent and independent platform for delivering university-level courses (recorded lectures, web-based materials, assignments, etc.).

    Although SPOKE-Network is very much a one-man show at present, one of the long-term goals is to open it up to faculty who might be interested hosting their own lectures/courses independently, but who lack the time, money, and/or skills to do so one their own.

    In any event, if you're interested in seeing what this all looks like, click on the link below for my course "Flight Culture and the Human Experience":

    https://spoke-network.org/courses/flightculture/lessons/now-boarding/

    …then click on the link to the "Onboard Information and Safety Video" for a short introduction to the course and a tour of that particular website.

    Best,

    ScP

    If people are interested in the Philosophy of Physics there has been a great series of presentations and discussions running during the pandemic called Harvard Foundations of Physics. These have a mixture of philosophers and physicists contributing. Link below to the relevant channel on YouTube:

    there is also a page with more information about the series and some of the slides etc here:

    When I teach other courses remotely, they'll be publicly available on YouTube as well.

    Does anyone know/understand the APA's policy on this, particularly as it concerns talks given at APA Divisional meetings? I gather that they are planning on making these talks available to conference registrants but not to the general public. Is this right? If so, does anyone know the rationale for the policy?

    Covid inspired me to start a YouTube channel for my students this year. Not lectures but short, animated lessons on various introductory philosophy topics.

    Let's Get Logical: https://www.youtube.com/c/LetsGetLogical

    I hope it proves helpful to many of you out there. Share and link to your heart's content. (The logic videos in particular should be helpful to your students.
