PHIL 491Internship in Philosophy

Catalog

Internship in Philosophy (3) Philosophy has never been simply an activity of the mind; philosophical ideas form and fashion (and reform and refashion) our world all the time. This course provides students in philosophy an opportunity to consider how philosophy can illuminate the work in a professional context, and conversely, how the work in which students are engaged can bring new questions to the study of philosophy. Whether interning at NIH, the Smithsonian, the National Zoo, a non-profit, a social justice organization, or a religious institute, students get the chance to make philosophy count and make it matter, but also to reflexively evaluate how philosophy might better meet the incredible challenges we face today. AU Core Integrative Requirement: Capstone. Not repeatable for credit. Permission: instructor and department chair.
