The Mentor SchemeMentoring is a crucial part of becoming - and improving as - an academic. There's reason to think that marginalised people are less likely to receive adequate informal academic mentoring, for a whole host of reasons - sometimes there are barriers for us accessing that mentoring, or sometimes the mentors available don’t have the same needs and experiences that we do. Whatever the reason, this lack of adequate mentoring creates an unfair disadvantage for marginalised people.
The MAP mentor scheme is designed to redress this imbalance. We have a large team of mentors from a wide range of backgrounds, and with varied experiences and specialities, who can offer one-to-one online advice for any UK philosophy student or researcher who considers themselves to be a member of a marginalised group. The CampaignWe currently have plenty of free spaces for new mentees, and are launching a new campaign to spread the word. There are four ways you can help to grow the scheme, and even the playing field in philosophy.
