/r/philosophy 2016-2017 AMA Series Recap + Survey!

This past academic year the moderators of /r/philosophy organised an ongoing AMA series with 18 different philosophers working on a variety of different topics, from metaphysics to logic, bioethics to philosophy education. Our series has now officially come to an end, and we want to thank everyone for their support and participation. Special thanks go of course to our AMA philosophers, as well as Joy Mizan at Oxford University Press for helping reach out to a number of different people for us, as well as freeing up open-access materials from many different authors. Barry Lam AMA While we will not be running a summer AMA series, we do want to note that we will be running one final AMA before the fall, by philosopher Barry Lam, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Vassar College and creator of Hi-Phi Nation: A Show About Philosophy That Turns Stories Into Ideas. Professor Lam will be joining us on June 5 to discuss Hi-Phi Nation and the art of creating philosophy podcasts which appeal to both philosophers and non-philosophers. AMA Survey We’d like to take this time to open up a survey for you to comment on the AMA series; what you liked, what you didn’t, what’d you change, who you’d like to see, etc. Please take a couple minutes to take the AMA Series Survey so we can decide whether to run it again next year, and if so, how to do it. You can take the survey HERE. Thanks again to everyone who participated, and we hope that you found the AMAs as interesting as we did. We welcome all feedback in the hope that we can continue bringing great content to you in the future.
