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
