Description

Let's talk about expertise in academic philosophy! We kick off this season with Mary Kate McGowan, professor of philosophy at Wellesley College. We talk about how what counts as good philosophy has changed over the years, philosophy as a team sport, and whether there's a notion of practice in the field, among other topics.
