2025 Philosophy in Media Fellowship: Workshop Leaders and Fellows

We are delighted to announce our 2025 Media Fellows. Fellows were selected from a pool of 240 applicants this year through a selection committee consisting of academic philosophers and media industry professionals. Generously funded by grants from the Mellon Foundation, the Sloan Foundation, and Princeton University's Center for Human Values and the Department of Philosophy, our Philosophy in Media Initiative aims to increase the presence of philosophy in print, audio, and video media by training philosophers to write and produce for the public, and by connecting philosophers to editors and commissioners in the media industry. Media Fellows will receive workshop training at Tarrytown Estates, NY, lodging and meals at the workshops, connections to industry professionals, and a $1500 honorarium.
