Dear all, Next Monday (8th October), the Cambridge Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) chapter is hosting an informal welcome event in the Boardroom of the Faculty of Philosophy, at 12:30pm-1:30pm. This is an opportunity to meet the MAP Organisers for 2018-19 and other philosophers interested in promoting minority perspectives in the field, and to hear about some of our plans for the coming academic year.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with MAP, the Cambridge MAP Chapter is part of an international network of chapters in philosophy departments in the US and UK. MAP is a student-led organisation that aims to examine and address issues of minority participation in academic philosophy. Each chapter aims broadly at addressing (a) minority issues in the profession, (b) theoretical issues regarding philosophy of gender, race, sexual orientation, class, disability, native language, etc, and (c) philosophy done from minority perspectives. Last year we held speaker events, a reading group, film screenings, a mentorship event, and a conference. For those on Facebook, there is an event page found at www.facebook.com/events/2197804403800534. There is also a Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CambridgeWomenInPhilosophy/ Soft drinks and snacks will be provided. We look forward to seeing some of you there - all are welcome! All the best, Azita Chellappoo (asc63) and Rory Kent (rdk32) _____________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the CamPhilEvents mailing list, or change your membership options, please visit the list information page: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEvents List archive: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEventsArchive Please note that CamPhilEvents doesn't accept email attachments.
