I recently received an email from someone seeking suggestions for things that a departmental women in philosophy group could or should do. This seemed to me an excellent topic to crowd-source. So please leave your favourite suggestions in comments!

Our WIP group (at U of Oklahoma) tends to do 3 things: get together for coffee/tea/snacks at a cozy restaurant near campus, discuss a reading (sometimes – not at the craziest times of the semester), and/or have a brown bag lunch in our department lounge. It’s nice to have a chance to get away from the department, but it’s also nice to claim space within the department.
Another thing that I thing would be good is to workshop people’s work in progress.
When it comes to readings, Kristie Dotson’s papers “How Is This Paper Philosophy?” and “Concrete Flowers: Contemplating the Profession of Philosophy” are a great place to start.
Sherri, can you provide more references for those two papers? They sound good.
University of Birmingham recently set up a feminist philosophy reading group; we meet every other Friday afternoon during term time and discuss a short chapter or paper. Blog here http://bhamfeministphilosophyreadinggroup.wordpress.com/
Cynthia – I found links to the papers Sherri mentioned here:
http://usf.usfca.edu/fac-staff/rrsundstrom/pubs/dotson
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1527-2001.2011.01176.x/pdf
The citation info for “Concrete Flowers” is Hypatia 26 (2):403-409 (2011).
sxj656’s first link above will take you to the complete version of “How Is This Paper Philosophy?”
Kristie also made a related blog post on NewApps:

Further discussion happened in (at least) two places:

http://sgrp.typepad.com/sgrp/2012/10/kristie-dotsons-how-is-this-paper-philosophy.html
Dotson’s work is also discussed in a paper that was presented in the ‘behaving splendidly’ session at the APA. See the post below on gender representation and this:
