Philosophy and Children's Literature webinar
Tuesday, October 25, 2022
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Event Details
Children’s literature is full of philosophical questions and ideas,
reflecting an awareness of children’s propensities to think about life’s
big questions. This webinar will explore ways to inspire exploration
with children about their big questions through children’s books. We
will examine several examples of philosophically-suggestive works, and
will engage as a group in a philosophical inquiry based on a picture
book. You will come away with ideas and resources for involving children
in philosophical questioning and discovery through literature. 1hr/1LEU
