Duke Philosophy is excited to host a two-day MAP (Minorities and Philosophy) event on January 17 and 18. MAP is a non-profit organization dedicated to breaking down barriers that hinder members of marginalized groups from participating in academic philosophy. Duke Philosophy proudly serves as one of MAP’s 180 chapters worldwide.
This year, we’re thrilled to welcome Julianne Chung from York University, who will deliver a talk titled “Zhuangzi Applied: The Creative Power of Global Skepticism.” The event will also feature a panel discussion by Julianne and three Duke Professors, David Wong, Katherine Brading, and Maya Kronfeld and interactive workshops led by Project Vox, Janine Jones from UNC Greensboro, and Duke graduate students Emily Kluge and Victor Crepso. These sessions will focus on practical strategies for diversifying syllabi, effectively teaching undergraduates from diverse backgrounds, and expanding the scope of research to include underrepresented perspectives.
