2024 Philosophy in Media Fellowship

The Marc Sanders Foundation, with the generous support of the Mellon Foundation, the Sloan Foundation, and Princeton University's Center for Human Values and the Department of Philosophy, is excited to share that the Philosophy in Media Initiative will host another round of workshops this summer!

Philosophy in Media aims to identify and develop academically-trained philosophers to write, speak to, and produce for the general public in the major media market spaces. We concluded a year-long initial run of the program here with support from the John D. Templeton Foundation. Now, with a three-year grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, we are calling for applications for 2024 Media Fellows. Fellows will be academically-trained philosophers of all career stages who aim to write, speak to, and produce media for the general public in the form of op-eds and short essays, book reviews, longform essays or journalism, trade-book writing, or podcasting.
