MAP McGill
Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) represents a diverse group of international students and scholars who aim to address structural issues of inequality and injustice in academic philosophy. The McGill chapter was founded in 2018 with the same aim. We bring together graduate and undergraduate students who believe philosophy could be a more equitable field of study, one that encourages different ways of being, thinking, feeling, and seeing the world. MAP McGill works to foster community among marginalized individuals by encouraging dialogue about the issues affecting them. We welcome and offer support to all students, instructors, and staff who wish to cultivate a more inclusive field of study.
Land Acknowledgement
Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) McGill acknowledges that McGill University, and MAP, are located on the unceded territories of indigenous peoples. The Kanien’kehá:ka Nation is recognized as the custodians of the lands and waters on which the downtown campus of McGill is located and we acknowledge this land was not given up, signed away, or ceded to McGill University. Tiohtià:ke/Montréal is historically known as a gathering place for many First Nations. Today, it is home to a diverse population of Indigenous and racialized peoples. Today, McGill's community learns, works, and lives on this unceded territory. Making this acknowledgement does not exculpate us institutionally; rather, it intensifies the need to actively support Indigenous peoples in their struggles for decolonization.
