Diversity Efforts:
has a climate or diversity committee
has a Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) chapter or similar diversity group
has conducted a departmental climate survey within the past three years
Additional efforts to increase inclusiveness:
Florida State University's philosophy department is committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty and students. When hiring, we ensure that we interview women and minority applicants whenever possible (this is obviously dependent upon the applicant pool), and we have offered two recent positions to women (one declined, one accepted). We encourage members of under-represented groups to apply to our graduate program, and several have been successful in securing university fellowships (those students that lack fellowship support are funded by the department as teaching assistants). The Society for Women's Advancement in Philosophy is based in the department, and our graduate students have recently founded a Minorities and Philosophy (M.A.P.) Chapter (which is collaborating closely with the broader network of the same name) to promote the personal and professional climate for minority students in philosophy. Finally, we provide a welcoming atmosphere, and insist upon mutual respect among all students and faculty.
