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.

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.
