Jason Baehr is Professor of Philosophy at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles (LMU), where he has been teaching since 2003.

This project involved, among other activities, the founding of the Intellectual Virtues Academy of Long Beach, a charter middle school in Long Beach, California, designed to help students make progress in intellectual virtues like curiosity, open-mindedness, and intellectual courage in the context of academic teaching and learning. Baehr continues to work at the intersection of philosophy and education, writing about intellectual virtues, speaking at conferences, and doing professional development work with secondary and postsecondary educators. His other books include The Inquiring Mind: On Intellectual Virtues and Virtue Epistemology (2012) and Intellectual Virtues and Education: Essays in Applied Virtue Epistemology (editor) (2016). He lives with his family in Long Beach.
