Additional efforts to increase inclusiveness

Our faculty is unusually diverse. In 2014-15, we are organizing a major conference to promote diversity and inclusiveness in philosophy. We are also opening a minority and philosophy (MAP) chapter. Our courses offerings often cover gender and race issues.

Additional Information

The PhD program was recently revamped. The first class after the revamping entered in the fall of 2014. All 7 of them (4 Males, 3 Females) were fully funded with TAships. We expect to build a strong and inclusive program.
