The JCI Scholars Program
A while back I posted a collection of free online courses in philosophy. Through a weird confluence of events, that led to interest in teaching philosophy outside of the university, first at an Anarchist Free School, and then at Jessup Correctional Institution in Maryland. This website is an attempt to collect and organize our activities. We hope to fund accreditation or join with a program recently begun by the nearby Goucher College to offer Bachelor's degrees. Meanwhile, we offer courses as "reading groups."

Role: teacher, organizer, writer, designer

So we're expanding the operation and looking for funding from a variety of grantors. At the same time we've created a Patreon campaign, which has video of me and one of the other organizers talking about the program, and lots of updates about our work this semester and the principles underwriting it.
