Daniel Groll, professor of philosophy, and Hope Sample, assistant professor of philosophy, have been selected as Mellon Periclean Faculty Leaders (PFL) in the Humanities. Sample and Groll will partner with the Northfield Area Learning Center (ALC) to design and implement an Academic Civic Engagement course that encourages philosophical discussions and debate, with the aim of helping student participants find their voice through civil discourse on difficult topics. The project, titled “Philosophy Lab: Establishing a pre-collegiate philosophy program,” will engage Carleton students in the course development and mentorship of ALC students.
This Project Pericles initiative is supported by the Mellon Foundation and The Eugene M. Lang Foundation.
