Th term 'philosophy labs' is a bit misleading, and what the authors describe bears little resemblance to 'labs' as you find them in college and university classes, but I like what they're actually doing and thought I'd share it here. "Philosophy labs follow the model provided by STEM labs in bringing together researchers at various stages of development—faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students—to work collaboratively on professional-level projects." Again, that doesn't resemble the experience I had in STEM labs in university, but from my perspective it would have been great to work with a whole range of people on real problems. This article goes into quite a bit of detail about how to set up such a lab experience in a philosophy class, but thinking more broadly, I think this would be a better way to structure learning generally.
