About the Marc Sanders Foundation:
The Marc Sanders Foundation deepens understanding through innovation in philosophy for a more informed world. In solidarity and support of other efforts advancing philosophy, the Marc Sanders Foundation identifies, seeds and builds programs that increase the visibility and inclusiveness of philosophy for today’s students and the next generation’s. 

About the National High School Ethics Bowl (NHSEB): 
Modeled on the Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl, the National and Regional High School Ethics Bowls are competitive yet collaborative events in which students discuss real-life ethical issues. The National High School Ethics Bowl’s goal is to do more than teach students how to think through ethical issues – it is to teach students how to think through ethical issues together, as fellow citizens in a complex moral and political community.

In 2017 – 2018, 480 teams representing 335 schools participated in 33 regionals from September to March for their chance to compete in the national championship. The 6thannual National High School Ethics Bowl brought in the top 24 teams to UNC Chapel Hill on April 21stand 22nd. 

About the Marc Sanders Foundation NHSEB / MAP Scholarship Program
Although the NHSEB has grown exponentially since its inception six years ago, many students are not able to participate due to limited resources. More than a third of participating schools have student bodies made up of at least 50% minority students, but there are still underserved and low-resourced regions in need of coaches, resources and regional competitions. 

MAP students have demonstrated their engagement in civic-minded activities and community development programs – most of which are conducted as volunteers. In an effort to acknowledge, reward and incentivize continued MAP participation in communities, The Marc Sanders Foundation is offering grants up to $1,000 to MAP chapters that will commit to serving as NHSEB coaches for the 2018 – 19 Academic Year, with a special focus on underserved communities (e.g. inner-city schools, rural schools). The $1,000 will be directed towards all costs associated with NHSEB coaching (e.g. travel, materials) as well as a stipend for any NHSEB coach’s time.

In the first year of the NHSEB / MAP Scholarship Program, the Marc Sanders Foundation will be granting scholarships to up to 10 MAP chapters. We hope to both expand access to NHSEB competitions across the United States and pilot sustainable civic-engagement programs for MAP with these scholarships.

MAP @ Bristol 'Public Philosophy' Conference CFA

This conference, to be held June 8th 2018, aims provide a platform for analysis and debate about conceptual and practical issues related to the topic of ‘Public Philosophy’.

The major conceptual aspects that require discussion is about the understanding and value of public philosophy. Some questions that might be addressed for an understanding of public philosophy are as follows: What is ‘public’ philosophy, and how should it be conceptualized? What does it mean for philosophy to be public? In thinking about the value of public philosophy, one might also ask: Why is it important for philosophy to be ‘public’? In what ways ought philosophy be an outward facing endeavour, rather than an exercise confined to academic circles?



Next, we have practical concerns about how public philosophy might best be implemented- this encompasses the components of accessibility and application. In terms of accessibility, we are concerned with questions such as: How can philosophy be of use for ordinary individuals with no background in philosophy? How can philosophy inform and benefit specific domains of individual lives? How might schools and traditions of philosophy from all over the world be used to reach different audiences? Similarly, questions of application arise: What are the most productive ways to promote philosophy to a non-expert audience? What particular methods ought we to use to translate complex philosophical theories into a practice that can be applied and implemented for different goals? What responsibilities are there, if any, for academic and non-academic institutions, and individuals, to advance philosophical understandings of various realms?


The Bristol Philosophy Department welcomes presentations which address these issues. We invite academics, PG students in philosophy and related disciplines, as well as persons whose work bears on our conference topics, to contribute to this event.


Please send an anonymised abstract of no more than 500 words, along with a separate document with the author information, to mapbristolconference@gmail.com, by April 10th, 2018.
