Fwd: Invitation to UPsalon Stammtisch - Anti-Racism-Working Group at the Institute of Philosophy

by Flora Löffelmann

Dear Institute of Philosophy! UPsalon would like to cordially invite you to our Stammtisch or "regular's table"! This time, we will use the Stammtisch for a first meeting of the critical Anti-Racism Working Group at the Institute of Philosophy. We discuss concerns, ideas and best practices at other departments, such as the Racism-Critical working group at the department of African Studies, and set up goals and aims for our own working group. You can find more information of the group here: https://afrika.univie.ac.at/en/about-us/wg-against-racism/ In line with this, we invite you to join us for a first meeting and discussion organised with UPSalon. The working group highly encourages participation from all levels. This will be a yet informal group of people who care about and are interested in taking up the topic of racism in the university ecosystem. This working group is concerned with the kinds of work, ideas and activities that improves awareness, enhance visibility, initiate discussions and interventions among all levels and practices of the institution. UPsalon are a group of doctoral and post-doctoral researchers; the initiative aims at creating a space and community in Vienna where underrepresented philosophers – such as women, gender minorities, racialised minorities, socioeconomically disadvantaged people and people disadvantaged by society – can connect on a regular basis. For more information, check out our website! People from all stages in their philosophical career are welcome, and we are especially excited to meet those who we have not yet met. Where? Tunnel Vienna, Florianigasse 39, 1080 Wien When? June 27th at 6 PM We are very much looking forward to meeting all of you! Do not hesitate to get in touch with any questions you may have. Best regards, UPsalon Mail: upsalon.philosophy(a)univie.ac.at Web: upsalon.univie.ac.at

Call for membership in the Working group against Racism at the Department of Philosophy

by Manu Sharma

Dear All Drawing from best practices at Racism - Critical working group at the department of African Studies, we are planning to found our own working group on the topic of racism, especially in the university context. You can find more information of the group here: https://afrika.univie.ac.at/en/about-us/wg-against-racism/ In line with this, we invite you to join us for a first meeting and discussion organised with UPSalon. The working group highly encourages participation from all levels. This will be a yet informal group of people who care about and are interested in taking up the topic of racism in the university ecosystem. This working group is concerned with the kinds of work, ideas and activities that improves awareness, enhances visibility, initiates discussions and interventions among all levels and practices of the institution. You can look at the website attached for a brief orientation. It is important to re-iterate, that our goal in doing this is to create a working group that shares a relationship of care with the issue of racism and it is not a career-building exercise. This also implies that racism needs to be recognised as an issue that affects us all and yet, those experiencing racism might also be people to keep in mind as central to expertise seeking, intervention making and delegation of authority. The hope is to have something that can be made continuous at the Philosophy department regardless of the presence of specific members. Please write to UPsalon <upsalon.philosophy(a)univie.ac.at> by 23rd of June if you would like to be a member of this group. We are planning our first meeting at the end of June/ beginning of July at the UPSalon Stammtisch with the goal of discussing aims, plans and ideas. We look forward to seeing you at the discussion. Best Manu
