Diversity Efforts:
hosts invited speakers who are members of underrepresented groups at least annually
has hosted an event focused on diversity and inclusion within the past year
provides annual sexual harassment, bystander, and climate training (directly or through our institution)
ensures department events are accessible to participants with disabilities
provides accommodations for faculty and guest speakers with disabilities
provides accommodations for students, faculty, and others with disabilities (directly or through our institution)
educates faculty and staff about disability accommodations and how to obtain them (directly or through our institution)
Additional efforts to increase inclusiveness:
Stony Brook Philosophy faculty reflect the commitment to both the ethnic and the philosophical diversity espoused by the department as a whole: faculty include two African Americans, one Asian American, one person of Latino origin, one of Middle Eastern provenance, one of Swiss-Korean background, as well as six women in a total faculty of twenty-one. Our course offerings at the undergraduate and graduate levels include feminist philosophy, philosophy of race and gender, and non-Western philosophies. When it comes to recruiting students to the MA and PhD programs, we advertise widely, but our most effective recruiters are the alumni—themselves a diverse group—who now teach in colleges and universities nationwide. Regarding funding, Stony Brook offers a number of awards (Turner Fellowships) aimed at students from underrepresented communities; philosophy PhD students regularly win these generous awards. In addition, Stony Brook graduate and undergraduate students are regular participants in the Philosophy in an Inclusive Key Summer Institute (PIKSI), the central aim of which is to promote diversity in the discipline.

Personal Statement
Program Strengths:
Philosophical dimensions of art have become of increasing concern to artists, art historians, art critics, and philosophers themselves in the last decade. The question as to what constitutes an artwork has been much debated and is an example of a specific theme to be treated in offerings at Stony Brook Manhattan. No other set of courses with a comparable emphasis exists in the New York area. Thus, artists, who consider philosophical features of their work, the educated public, art collectors and art administrators, and those who seek to earn a master's degree in philosophy, will be interested in this unique opportunity.
Program Strengths:
philosophy, with particular emphasis on contemporary French and German thought. Courses in phenomenology, psychoanalysis, structuralism, postructuralism and postmodernism, and critical theory are held regularly. The purpose of the Doctoral Program is to prepare students for independent research and scholarship in the field, and to help them develop the necessary intellectual and pedagogical skills for teaching philosophy. The requirements and review processes are designed so that all seminar and non-seminar work will be completed by the end of the third year, leaving the fourth year for dissertation research and writing.
