See you there!

International (non-UK) students on any Philosophy and PPE degrees are invited to a meeting with staff, to discuss their experiences at Warwick.

A student-staff meeting to share information and ideas about promoting equality and diversity at Warwick Philosophy. Learn about what lies behind our excellent acronyms: MAP (Minorities and Philosophy), BVN (Black Voices Network), the WP Network (Widening Participation), and EWC (Equality and Welfare Committee). For all UG and PG students. Rsvp to Eileen John (eileen.john@warwick.ac.uk).

We will be in person in S0.17, but there will be Teams access as well.

“MAP (Minorities and Philosophy), a student-led network that aims to reduce inequalities in academic philosophy, will have a first formative meeting on Thursday, 3 October, 10.30-11.30 in the Common Room. We are especially searching for students who would like to get involved and shape what MAP will be like in this academic year! (What should we focus on? Which events, workshops, reading groups etc. should there be?) You are all cordially invited to drop in, also if you can only be present for a part of the time! If you have any questions, feel free to contact map.philosophy@warwick.ac.uk.”

Everybody is invited to just drop in for a while, have a coffee, chat for a bit and/or do some co-studying.

We look forward to seeing you there!

As part of PH9F7, Topics in Philosophy and the Arts, we will be watching the film Talk to Her. Students who are not in the seminar are very welcome to attend.

MAP film screening: “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946)

As an end-of-term celebration, MAP (Minorities and Philosophy) is organising a film screening of the classic “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946), an “American Christmas supernatural drama film produced and directed by Frank Capra” (Wikipedia). Doesn’t sound this exciting?! Everyone welcome!

When: Monday, 2 December, 7 pm

Where: S0.20

MAP (Minorities and Philosophy) continues with their famous fortnightly “Sip & Study” sessions in the common room. Everybody is invited to drop in for a free coffee or tea, some co-working and/or a chat! Every second Thursday from 10.30-12.30 in the common room (that is: week 1, week 3, week 5, week 7, week 9) See you there!

Porn websites rank among the most visited websites globally with billions of visits every month. According to a study from 2018, 91.5% of men and 60.2% of women (ages 18-73) in the US reported having consumed pornography in the past month (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30358432/). The impact that porn has on feminist issues has been discussed by feminist philosophers for decades. We want to explore the relation between ‘Porn and Feminism’ by reading a couple of introductory texts together! By ‘exploring’ we mean to not take certain evaluative assumptions towards pornography for granted beforehand but to get familiar with some of the things that have been said in feminist debates.

We will start by reading the chapter “Talking to My Students About Porn” by Amia Srinivasan (contained in her 2021 book “The Right to Sex” and attached). After that, we will determine the readings successively which is also an opportunity to bring in your own wishes and suggestions.

Where and when: every second Tuesday, 4-5 pm (weeks 2, 4, perhaps 6, 8, 10); room S2.85 (in the Economics department very close to the Philosophy department). We will, accordingly, start next Tuesday, 14. January!

Any questions, suggestions, or comments: map.philosophy@warwick.ac.uk.

We will discuss obstacles and access to doing philosophy, both for students and researchers/lecturers. Philosophy has some surprisingly enduring underrepresentation at the professional level, with respect to race and gender (and class?), and there are salient patterns for PG study as well. There is also longstanding cultural narrowness in the intellectual traditions studied. Why is this? How do these facts affect people’s experience in philosophy? Please join students and faculty members for brief presentations from the panel and open discussion of the issues. The session will be held in the Cowling Room, S2.77. Refreshments will be served.
