Additional efforts to increase inclusiveness

The Duke philosophy department has consistently maintained a ratio of female to male faculty well above the average for US doctoral departments. Women faculty members have worked mainly in metaphysics, logic and the philosophy of language, the philosophy of mind, and epistemology. The department has included African-American scholars in the past and currently includes an Asian-American scholar. Current graduate students include Hispanic, African American and other groups underrepresented in philosophy. The University provides a range of funding opportunities and research support for minorities in philosophy. The department has also offered classes at the undergraduate and graduate level on issues in comparative philosophy, Chinese philosophy, race and race theory, feminism, and other subjects where diversity matters arise.
