Dear DAVID,
The UPDirectory—Directory
of Philosophers from Underrepresented Groups in Philosophy
currently contains entries for more than 1,600 philosophers in
the English-speaking world who are members of underrepresented
groups in philosophy, including women, racial and ethnic
minorities, disabled philosophers, and LGBTQ philosophers, among
others. It is the only resource that collects information about
the work of philosophers from underrepresented groups.
Conference organizers can use the UPDirectory to
locate philosophers from underrepresented groups with expertise
in the subject of the conference. Editors can use it to find
referees or contributors to anthologies. Hiring committees can
use it to broaden their applicant pools. Philosophy instructors
can use it to construct more inclusive syllabi.
Participation in the UPDirectory is voluntary. In order to keep the
directory current, we ask philosophers from underrepresented
groups to enter themselves using the “Want to Add Yourself?”
form. If you are included in the database but
your information is incorrect, please fill out the “Request to Edit
Information” form. You may suggest other
living philosophers to be listed by using the “Want to Add
Someone Else?” form. Those suggested will be
asked for their permission to be entered into the UPDirectory.
The UPDirectory was created by Ruth Chang, Rebecca
Millsop, Tina Botts, Manuel Vargas, Sally Haslanger, and
Elizabeth Anderson. Support for the UPDirectory was provided by
the APA Committee on the Status of Women, the APA Committee on
the Status of Black Philosophers, MIT, the University of
Michigan, Rutgers University, and the University of San
Francisco.
Please help keep the UPDirectory current by
forwarding this message to underrepresented philosophers,
especially new graduate students, lecturers, and assistant
professors. We hope you will find this directory to be a valuable
resource!
All the best,
Amy Ferrer
Executive Director
