Our Mission

UNLV PES promotes the value and relevance of philosophical inquiry in education to an audience that may or may not be familiar with philosophical or educational ideas and methods.

We seek to create a space for a general audience to have conversations about philosophy of education issues and ideas. This space is open to students, faculty, staff, and the general public; anyone interested in looking deeply into the foundations and assumptions of our educational practices. We will accomplish this by:

• Meeting monthly to discuss pressing philosophy of education issues and ideas.
• Providing readings for participants to familiarize themselves with the month's discussion topic.
• Promoting a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment for attendees.
