And so it's no surprise that the Concerned Philosophers for Peace, a group committed to justice through reasoned dialogue,"
"A Global Audience for a Global Movement On Saturday, October 18, Pellissippi State Community College philosophy professor Court Lewis and I pitched Ethics Bowl as a unique vehicle for peace at the annual CPP conference in San Marcos, Texas. Hosted by longtime member Greg Moses at beautiful Texas State University, attendees included scholars not only from the U.S., but Albania, Australia, Canada, India, and Poland."
"Member presentations ranged from Kimberly Madero's talk on using AI to supplement history students' appreciation of suppressed groups' perspectives, to Ada Cebula's talk on how Germany has attempted to distance itself from atrocities committed in Poland during WWII, to Greg Bock's talk on balancing forgiveness with self-respect to avoid succumbing to the temptation for vindictive revenge. A truly international gathering, Anna Taft of the Tandana Foundation was even joined live via Zoom by Margarita Fuerez in Ecuador and Moussa Tembine in Mali."
