Women in Philosophy: Stuff to read! July 30, 2010

I should have known about this before, but somehow I missed it. Probably you didn’t, but just in case…

The APA Newsletter on Feminism and Philosophy, Spring 2009 contains SIX fabulous articles on the under-representation of women in philosophy.

MIRIAM SOLOMON AND JOHN CLARKE , “CSW Jobs for Philosophers Employment Study”
KATHRYN J. NORLOCK , “Love to Count: Arguments for Inaccurately Measuring the Proportion of Philosophers Who Are Women”
JANET A. KOURANY , “Why Are Women Only 21% of Philosophy?: Introduction to the Panel Presentations”
ELIZABETH K. MINNICH , “Women in Philosophy: 21% of What?”
SHARON CRASNOW , “What Do the Numbers Mean?”
ABIGAIL J. STEWART , “What Might Be Learned from Recent Efforts in the Natural Sciences?”

And the Fall 2009 Newsletter contains FIVE excellent articles on strategies to help women in philosophy:
