AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL ASSOCIATION- Diversity and Inclusion resources for philosophy departments.

 

Dear DAVID,   Each year since 2015, the APA has distributed a packet of resources and posters to each philosophy department in the US and Canada. This year, because many institutions are operating online rather than in person, we are distributing these diversity and inclusion resources virtually. This set of resources, which includes color posters and a variety of other informational fliers, is generously funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.   This year the packet includes a new “Quick Guide to Undergraduate Diversity Institutes in Philosophy,” which summarizes application and program information for summer undergraduate diversity institutes in philosophy. This and other resources aim to help departments support undergraduate students from underrepresented groups interested in studying philosophy, including people of color, LGBTQ+ people, women, people with disabilities, first generation college students, and people from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. We encourage departments to share the following posters and resources with faculty and students: “Quick Guide to Undergraduate Diversity Institutes in Philosophy” flier Five 8.5x11 “Who Studies Philosophy?” posters: Tamara Keith John Lewis Kwame Ture Rashida Jones Chris Hardwick “5 Ways to Be More Inclusive” flier “APA Travel Assistance” flier “Diversity in Philosophy Bibliography” If you have any questions about or suggestions for future mailings, or if you would like to receive the posters when a physical copy is available, please contact APA Program Assistant Lucy Pawliczek at lucypawliczek@apaonline.org.   For more resources, please visit the APA’s Resources on Diversity and Inclusiveness page. For more information about diversity institutes, please visit the APA’s Diversity Institute Resources page.   All the best,   Amy Ferrer Executive Director
