Climate and Diversity

The ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Philosophy Department is dedicated to fostering an environment and climate in which all people, including those from underrepresented groups, can thrive and flourish. On these pages, you can find out more about what we’re doing to make this a better place for students and faculty alike.

What we are doing to make this a better place:

  1. We have an ongoing committee to review and improve the overall social environment and conditions for teaching, learning, and research.
  2. The Department has adopted Best Practices, which represent the ideals and goals that we aim to live up to.
  3. We sponsor ongoing training in diversity and mental-health related skills for our faculty and graduate students.
  4. We look to recruit and retain faculty and students from members of traditionally under-represented groups, and to promote diversity equity and inclusion for all members of our community.
  5. We are pleased to have an official chapter of the Minorities and Philosophy. Please visit their website for events sponsored by MAP.
