<\/div>\n
I was involved in founding the journal Questions: Philosophy for Young People<\/a> <\/em>ten years ago. The journal began as a project of the American Philosophical Association’s Committee on Pre-College Instruction in Philosophy. We conceived it as a way to illustrate the philosophical work that young people are capable of doing.<\/p>\n

The mission of Questions <\/em>is to further on a national scale the work that is being done to bring philosophy into young people’s lives, and to draw attention to the value of philosophy and philosophical thinking for young students. Each issue contains philosophical stories, essays, poems, photographs and drawings. The journal also publishes articles offering advice and ideas for teachers and parents interested in facilitating philosophical discussions with young people.<\/p>\n

Past issues have explored a variety of philosophical issues, including human rights with students in elementary, middle, and high schools, and have included transcripts of K-12 discussions about human rights perspectives and an examination of children’s rights with teachers, students, and philosophers from the U.S., Brazil, and Israel. The journal publishes all of the winning entries from the Kids Philosophy Slam<\/em> <\/a>contest each year. The ninth issue will be out this winter.<\/p>\n

Here is the current request for submissions for Questions<\/em>:<\/div>\n

\n

Written submissions should be sent in Word, WordPerfect, or Rich Text File formats (as .doc, .wpd, or .rtf).
