Diversity Efforts:
has conducted a departmental climate survey within the past three years
hosts invited speakers who are members of underrepresented groups at least annually
offers multiple courses in which philosophers from underrepresented groups are included on the syllabus in proportion to their numbers in the profession and/or which focus on philosophical issues related to race, gender, disability, class, etc.
Additional efforts to increase inclusiveness:
We require graduate students teaching introduction to philosophy to use syllabi that include at least 20 percent women philosophers, and not to require any textbook purchase (exclusively use pdfs that are public domain, within fair use, or available behind paywall as part of GSU library collection) to help students of limited financial means. Two of our former graduate students, Toni Adleberg and Morgan Thompson, along with Eddy Nahmias, surveyed introduction to philosophy students to find out why male and female students enroll in introductory-level courses in similar numbers but women drop out of the discipline in much greater numbers. This research is continuing.
