This year, MAP ran a survey on the topic of graduate student service work recognition and compensation, hypothesizing that graduate students from marginalized groups are burdened with under-recognized and under-compensated service work in their departments. What we found strongly supported the claim that graduate students from marginalized groups are shouldering a disproportionately heavy load of service work, and in most departments, this work is unpaid and not even informally recognized. The full report -- including discussion of the methodology of our survey, results, and policy recommendations -- is embedded below, and a PDF can be downloaded here. We are thrilled to announce that Milana Kostic (UCSD) and Angela Sun (Michigan) will be coming on board this Fall to serve as new MAP Organizers. Carolina Flores (Rutgers) is the new director, with Elise Woodard stepping down from that position and transitioning from organizing to the advisory board in 2020. Keyvan Shafiei (Georgetown) is stepping down from their position as an organizer.
The Organizing team now is: Carolina Flores (Rutgers), Milana Kostic (UCSD), Angela Sun (Michigan), Elise Woodard (Michigan), and Jingyi Wu (UC Irvine). The primary role of the Organizers is to maintain and strengthen the MAP network and to communicate with and support individual MAP chapters. We are confident that MAP will be in excellent hands. MAP’s institutional focus is also shifting, both in response to the new chapters themselves and the new possibilities of the organization's new size and scope. The new MAP leadership will be tasked with taking up the previous leadership’s responses to these changes and are eager for feedback from chapters on new directions for the organization. Current and past organizers want to thank both past organizers and chapters for their hard work, enthusiasm, and many contributions. It has been a pleasure working with you, and we are grateful for the opportunity to play a supportive role in the MAP network. We are excited to see the organization continue to grow and expand, and we are confident in the new leadership’s ability. Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) will be hiring one organizer to help direct MAP International. MAP is a collection of students in philosophy departments that aims to examine and address issues of minority participation in academic philosophy. It is currently comprised of 132 chapters and continues to grow and expand.
The role of International Organizers is largely to facilitate the success of MAP chapters and oversee the development of the larger organization. Thus, responsibilities include: conferencing regularly with other Organizers, making decisions on the growth of MAP regions and projects, coordinating with outside organizations (like the APA or funders), responding to chapter funding requests, updating the website and social media pages, collating lists of chapter activities, collecting resources, touching base with chapter organizers, and more. Criteria for applying:
Submit a Statement of Interest, CV, and contact information (name and email) of a reference as a single PDF by August 8, 2019 to mapforthegap@gmail.com with the subject line ‘MAP Application.’
We will notify all applicants by August 20, 2019. Start date is approximately September 1, 2019. If you have any questions, please contact us at mapforthegap@gmail.com.
