A friend of mine just created her webpage as a philosopher and I thought I'd post it for two reasons. First, she wants to get her google result up to page one and second, I thought it would be a good opportunity to promote women currently in the discipline. I looked through the posts and didnt't really see a listing of current philosophers' websites, so I thought maybe this would be an opportunity to start one.

New to reddit, so I'm not really even sure if this is the right place for my question--I'm sorry if it's not! I'm looking for podcasts on philosophy (I'm thinking The Partially Examined Life, Philosophize This, etc.) that are created by women or poc. Getting pretty tired of hearing white dudes talk about other white dudes! Let me know if you have any suggestions!

New program to support women in academic philosophy: "The Job Candidate Mentoring Program for Women in Philosophy matches job candidates with junior faculty mentors who have recently been on the market. The program provides mentoring and peer support to women candidates during their job search through videoconferencing and online forums." https://jobmentoringforwomen.wordpress.com/

I'm president this upcoming semester, and one of the few women who show up regularly to the club. I'd like to change that situation, and also be more inclusive of people of color (the club is entirely white right now).

I'm not entirely sure why more women don't come. Its possible that its because philosophy tends to focus on old white men, but club discussions tend to be centered around ideas more so than specific philosophers.

I don't see much overt sexism in the club. However, I do think that sometimes the guys in the club sort of strawman something that a woman says and then the woman doesn't really stand up for herself and her argument (even though she's right) - possibly because women are socialized to be passive and not confident in themselves. As president / facilitator of discussions, how can I handle that sort of situation? I don't want to make them feel patronized by arguing their points for them, but I also don't want to put women on the spot if they don't feel comfortable with that.

That in my department, 5/14ths of the professors have signed the open letter against Thomas Pogge, which is good. 4/5ths of them are women, which is less good but unsurprising. If you're interested, here's the letter, sign if you're a grad student or professional, and take advantage of Command-F to find the people from your department.
