Over on Facebook there's a newly created group, "The First Gen Philosophers Club" - for people who are a first generation college student and are in philosophy (grad student or faculty). Here's a link: facebook.com/groups/58533037…

We find ourselves again in mourning, this time for the loss of Emeritus Professor Peter Clark - teacher, colleague, friend, and beacon of inspiration to so many in our community. He will be sadly missed. More information to follow.

🚨🚨 Philosophy students! 🚨🚨 Mentoring is a crucial part of becoming - and improving as - an academic. There are many reasons to think that marginalised people are less likely to receive adequate informal academic mentoring, creating an unfair disadvantage.
