Improving the Participation of Women in the Philosophy Profession
The Project, 'Improving the Participation of Women in the Philosophy Profession', comissioned in 2007 and overseen by a Committee of Senior Academics Addressing the Status of Women in the Philosophy Profession, had the following main aims:
- Data collection and analysis to identify the key stages in women’s education or careers in those cases where they either leave Philosophy or stall in their careers; and the
- Preparation of a report based on the collected information that could be used to frame future strategies for enhancing women’s participation in all levels of academic Philosophy.
The project was supported by a Vice Chancellor's Challenge Grant from the University of Wollongong and the Australasian Association of Philosophy. Heads of Australasian Philosophy programs gave their formal support to the project.
