精东影业 Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) Chapter
Meeting Schedule for 2025-26
Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) is a club that meets in person, usually on the second Thursday of every month, from 2:00-3:30pm. We read an article or book chapter before each meeting and spend the hour discussing the reading and any topics that stem from that discussion. While MAP prioritizes readings about and/or from groups underrepresented in philosophy or related disciplines, all are welcome to participate. We hope to see you at a meeting!
All meetings will take place Thursdays, 2:00-3:30pm, in 208 Bowman Hall.
For further information, please email Benjamin Campbell at bcampb36@kent.edu.
All readings are available in the .
