Diversity Efforts:
has a Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) chapter or similar diversity group
hosts invited speakers who are members of underrepresented groups at least annually
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)
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:
4 out of our last 6 tenure-track hires have been women, including two women of color and two members of the LGBT community, but with departures and retirements, our current makeup does not entirely reflect that hiring history. We have begun recruiting members of underrepresented groups in philosophy to our MA program in the hopes of helping to diversify the profession.

Program Strengths:
Our primary focus is on the interdisciplinary nature of philosophy and how it applies to such subjects as science, literature, art, health care, and information technology, among others. We also focus on contemporary issues in biomedical, business, environmental and professional ethics through our Center for Professional and Applied Ethics. The department aspires to embody an intertraditional approach to philosophy, by which we mean that we support and pursue work within and between differing philosophical traditions. This is more than a commitment to pluralism or the retention of specialists representing analytic, continental, and pragmatist traditions. Rather, we aim to build a culture where these subdisciplinary boundaries are less important than the resources they provide for addressing concrete problems.
