Map for the Gap, “a collection of students in North American philosophy departments that aims to examine and address issues of minority participation in academic philosophy,” now includes a micro-mentoring program. If you are a philosophy faculty member, do consider volunteering here at the bottom of the page.

Through MAP’s network, students can exchange ideas on topics related to minorities and philosophy, meet and support peers, and learn from other philosophy departments. MAP chapters can choose to provide their respective departments with regular feedback on the department climate.
