About the Case Studies
The Forward Thinking Project has developed a series of case studies aimed at identifying (i) key issues in learning and teaching Philosophy in Australian universities and (ii) innovative approaches to teaching and learning Philosophy.
The project has produced two kinds of case studies:
- Commentaries on issues arising in philosophical pedagogy and innovative responses to those issues raised at round table discussions
- Summary of ALTC citation winners from the Philosophy discipline.
Commentaries on Issues
- Evaluation

- Encouraging tutorial preparation
- Teaching philosophy to non philosophy majors/first year students
- Teaching Ethics to non philosophy majors
- Teaching philosophy outside the BA/to non philosophy majors
