Philosopher Colin Marshall writes
This year, the Central APA will be online, following the 2+1 Campaign in 2021-22. Under the 2+1 model, one of the three divisional APA meetings each year will be virtual, with each division taking a turn to host. The APA will be trying out this model for the next three years.
One benefit of an online event is that it can reach more people. For the Central, five big events will be open to the public, including an interview with Kwame Anthony Appiah and a forum on AI in the classroom. In addition, there is also a modestly-priced Watch Party registration option, allowing departments and undergraduate clubs to watch additional sessions together, including the major lectures (by Fine, Pippin, and Pasnau) and a series of symposia on recent books (by Barnes, Thorstad, Guerrero, and Manne). Watch Parties can be inclusive, community-building departmental events in a time where community feels especially important.
Registration, schedule, and more information is available on the 2025 Central Webpage (click on "Register Now!" to find the Watch Party registration option). Please help spread the word.
