Map Reading Group

Several times a year MAP organizes a reading group. Together we decide on books, chapters, papers, or other texts to read about the topic of Minorities and Philosophy. Check the calendar at the top of this page for upcoming meetings and send an e-mail on map@uantwerpen.be for more info if you'd like to join. 

In the spring of 2024, the reading group 'Beyond the Western Curriculum' takes place in collaboration with the Education Committee of the Philosophy Department. This reading group is primarily intended for teaching staff, but others who are interested can also contact us through map@uantwerpen.be for more information about the dates and reading material.
