Dear all, Join Minorities and Philosophy on Monday 26th November, 6-7pm, for a panel discussion centred around mentoring and offering advice to those considering an academic path.
It will be held in the History and Philosophy of Science department, Free School Lane (room to be confirmed). Our panellists will offer practical advice, share their experiences in academia, and discuss specific challenges students and staff of marginalised identities may face. There will also be opportunity to ask questions, and ask for specific advice around (for example) PhD or job applications.
