Two of our graduates, Aaron Arinder and Jonathan Schult, will be discussing ways in which graduates can use their humanities degrees – and specifically philosophy degrees – to develop a successful career outside of academia. Aaron and Jonathan are currently working in the fields of technology and engineering.

This meeting will be the first in our plan to hold a speaker series every semester, where we invite people from different professions and sectors to discuss how our graduates can best capitalize on their philosophy degrees.

The meeting should be of interest to both graduate and undergraduate students.

Please

The post Philosophy Outside of Academia appeared first on Philosophy.

During his time at 51���� Dr. Golightly was a scholar, activist, and public philosopher. He published in top tier philosophy journals such as the Journal of Philosophy, Philosophical Review, Philosophy of Science, The Monist, and the like. His academic work addressed philosophical topics of interest at the time (e.g., Mind-body Causation, The James Lange theory of emotion). Writings in more public venues engaged matters of concern to the Black educational community.  While in Milwaukee he was very active in public education. He was the first African American elected to the Milwaukee School Board. Dr. Golightly fought to introduce busing to promote the integration of Black students into schools throughout the city, and in the early 1960s he advocated for a federally sponsored free breakfast program for poor students. Unfortunately, both efforts were thwarted.

There is a biography of Cornelius Golightly in the most recent APA Newsletter for Philosophy and the Black Experience. It is a republished version of this article at Black Past: https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/dr-cornelius-golightly-1917-1976-life-academic-and-public-intellectual/
