Minorities and Philosophy (MAP)

In 2019, I started organizing at Minorities and Philosophy International, an organization with over 170 chapters around the world that aims to examine and address issues of minority participation in academic philosophy. During the 2020-2021 year, I served as the organization's Co-Director (with Jingyi Wu). I am currently the chapter advisor for W&L's MAP chapter.

Here's MAP's website.

Michigan COMPASS

From 2017-2019, I co-organized Michigan COMPASS, a diversity institute at University of Michigan that brings together undergraduate and master's students from underrepresented backgrounds in philosophy for three days of discussion, networking, and mentorship.

Ethics Bowl

From 2018-2020, I organized the Michigan High School Ethics Bowl, a venue for high school students to discuss ethical issues in a collaborative/competitive setting. We recently received a grant from the Marc Sanders Foundation to expand the Michigan High School Ethics Bowl to underserved schools in Metro Detroit. I also served as an Ethics Bowl Coach, teaching ethics to high school students to prepare them for the annual Bowl.

Aesthetics Discussion Group

Since 2017, I've organized the Aesthetics Discussion Group at the University of Michigan. The ADG is an interdisciplinary group where members and invited speakers present works in progress on aesthetics and the arts, broadly construed. We meet roughly once a month during the academic year.

The ADG goes virtual.
