MAP is still working to reach our MSF fundraising goal! All donations up to $10,000 will be matched by MSF. Donate here!
Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) was founded by philosophy graduate students in Summer 2013 with the mission of addressing structural injustices in academic philosophy and removing barriers to participation in academic philosophy for members of marginalized groups. MAP is simultaneously a community for marginalized graduate students to reckon with structural injustice they personally experience, an advocacy platform for a more welcoming academic climate, and a safe space to promote philosophical work done from marginalized perspectives (see MAP resources for our completed reports, public posts, guides, and conference materials).
MAP activities have traditionally been co-funded by local universities and the Marc Sanders Foundation. Due to COVID disruptions and MAP’s exponential growth, MAP is severely underfunded. Since 2013, when we started with 19 chapters, we have grown over 752%, yet we still receive the same annual operational budget. This has become extremely unsustainable given MAP’s growing impact on the discipline. This year, the Marc Sanders Foundation has offered a $10,000 dollar-for-dollar match promise; your donations through this campaign have the potential to increase MAP's annual operational budget by 100%.
To continue the great work that MAP does, we need your help, now more than ever.
Donations during this campaign will help MAP International organize events and support MAP chapters in philosophy departments worldwide.
