The Squire Family Foundation has inaugurate a new project, Student Voices and its companion blog, The Philosophical Student. Student Voices provides young philosophers with the opportunity to express themselves and to communicate with one another across the United States and around the world.
December 2008: "High School Bioethics: A Gateway to Philosophy" was the title of a recent presentation at the American Philosophical Association conference in Philadelphia. The Committee for Pre-College Instruction in Philosophy session, organized Craig B. Merow, math department chair and master teacher at Germantown Academy (Fort Washington, PA), featured ethicists from the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Bioethics, along with two students from his Bioethics course. The students, Joeylyn Yockey and Tim McAleer, both seniors, spoke about how taking the course changed their thinking—about philosophy and themselves.
