Additional efforts to increase inclusiveness

Our Women in Philosophy at UW group is composed of female graduate students in the philosophy department. Their mission is to strengthen community among women graduate students in order to secure a climate in which all philosophers can flourish. They meet regularly, pursue projects that will promote inclusiveness of gender and other underrepresented groups, and build mentor relationships. We also recruit graduate students from racial and ethnic minorities, and provide fellowships to them, to improve the diversity of our program.

Additional Information

We do not track LGBT or disability status of faculty or students.
