Additional efforts to increase inclusiveness

UC Santa Cruz is an equal opportunity employer. Last year, the department hired three new Assistant Professors, all women. So, out of a department of ten faculty, three are women. Also, the Chair of the department is Latino. In recent years, the philosophy department has had one of the most diverse cohorts of graduate students in its history. For example, nearly all of the students in our department who were finishing up their MA last year are from ethnically underrepresented groups. About a third of our doctoral students are women. In general, the department makes every effort to hire and retain a diverse faculty and student body.

Program Strengths

Our department integrates historical, analytic, and continental approaches to philosophy, in its teaching and research. Contemporary strengths include broad coverage in philosophy of science and philosophy of mind. Historical strengths include ancient, Kant, and key figures and issues in all traditions in 19th and 20th century philosophy—e.g., Husserl, Heidegger, Carnap, Quine, Merleau-Ponty, and Wittgenstein. Uniquely for such a small department, its teaching and research interests also include leading figures from the Middle Ages and late antiquity, including medieval Islamic figures.
