Mitchell S. Green F’00, F’05 Explores Introducing Philosophy Education to High Schools
11/23/2009
Mitchell S. Green F’00, F’05, NEH/Horace W. Goldsmith Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University of Virginia, has received a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for a three-year study exploring the possibility of introducing philosophy education to Virginia high school curricula. The project will involve conferences with Virginia University faculty and graduate students and public and private secondary students, culminating in the creation of digital resources for high-school philosophy teachers. He is also the recipient of a 2009 National Science Foundation grant in support of his study “Expression, Communication, and the Origins of Meaning."
Professor Green has received two ACLS awards: a 2000 Frederick Burkhardt Residential Fellowship for Recently Tenured Scholars and a 2005 Contemplative Practice Fellowship. The former supported a philosophical study of self-expression and self-constitution, while the latter supported the design of a course on self-knowledge based on both philosophy and experimental psychology.
