More info:
The Cambridge MAP Chapter is hosting a one-day conference on 18th June
2018. Following the success of the annual Cambridge Women in Philosophy
conference, which in 2017 brought together more than forty attendees
from across Europe and North America, we have broadened our scope and
this year we are seeking to foreground more minority voices in academic
philosophy.
As part of an international organisation with participations from
Harvard to Manchester, each MAP Chapter is united by their broad aims to
address (a) minority issues in the profession, (b) theoretical issues
regarding philosophy of gender, race, class, sexual orientation,
disability, native language, etc., and (c) philosophy done from minority
perspectives.
Through our conference, we aim to explore and analyse the ways in which
identity and power interact, and to engage with issues such as the
epistemological power of identity categories, the characterisation of
the intersections of power relations, and what liberation within the
academy might look like. Additionally, by highlighting the work of
contemporary philosophers of marginalised identities, we seek to secure
space within philosophy for such work to thrive.
Many thanks,
