Dear all, Just a reminder that the Cambridge Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) group is holding a mentoring lunch with Professor Rae Langton on Monday 13th November.
Time: 12-1pm Location: Grad Common Room, Philosophy Department (First room on the right when you go into the Philosophy Grad Centre). For those who aren't familiar with the work that MAP does, MAP is a collection of students in philosophy departments across the US and UK. The aim of MAP is to examine and address issues of minority participation in academic philosophy (i.e. those of marginalised identities currently underrepresented in philosophical circles, including women, people of colour, LGBT+ people, disabled people, and those from working-class backgrounds). The mentoring lunch will be an informal opportunity to discuss issues relating to minority participation in philosophy, experiences in higher education/ academia, and to ask for advice on careers in academia/ further study. Undergraduates, MPhils, PhD students, and postdocs are all more than welcome to come along. If anyone is working on graduate applications currently, please feel free to come and get specific advice on your application. All are welcome, but note that the experiences, contributions and questions from those of marginalised identities will be centered.
