MAP Warwick
Overview
The Warwick Chapter aims to raise awareness, provide support, and foster the understanding and philosophical assessment of MAP-related themes (equality and inclusiveness) through a variety of events and activities.
A Midlands MAP Festival ran in May and June on Philosophy, Academia, and Mental Health in 2021, and a CineMAP film series was initiated in 2020. See below to get an idea of MAP’s past and present activities.
Warwick MAP has to date been run by PG students in the Philosophy Department, but all events are open to undergraduates, postgraduates, faculty, and staff.
