This panel brings together philosophers at different career stages to explore diverse forms of community engagement beyond the traditional academic scope of philosophy. Panellists will discuss their experiences with public philosophy, board and policy work, media contributions, educational partnerships, and creative collaborations. The conversation will cover motivations for community involvement, practical pathways into different types of work, and the challenges and rewards of translating philosophical expertise for broader audiences. Panellists will share insights about balancing academic and community commitments while building meaningful partnerships outside the university. Whether you’re curious about public engagement or looking to expand your current outreach, this session offers practical perspectives on how philosophical training can serve wider social purposes. Audience perspectives on, and experiences with, philosophy in the community are very welcome.
