A wonderful initiative that deserves support and participation. The link is here: https://feminist-philosophy-by-department.wikis.gdc.georgetown.edu/. Here's the intro:
This is a public site, and anyone can add or subtract information at any time. So, you should always double check to make sure that the information here is correct. If at any point in the future it becomes necessary to restrict access to the site, please let the administrator of the site know (lbh24@georgetown.edu)! Also, if you would like to add information about a department that is not included on this list, please contact the administrator of the site to have the page added. Since the goal is to make the most up-to-date information available, we hope to keep the site completely open so that anyone can view the pages of this site, download contents, or contribute new files and edit pages.
We hope that people will see this as a collaborative and mutualistic project, an attempt to improve the available opportunities for people who are interested in feminist philosophy! So, please, feel free to edit and improve this site; but, also remember that philosophy can be done collectively and collaboratively, even if our disputes and disagreements sometimes generate contentious claims, spirited discussions, vehement disagreements, and trenchant criticisms!
A note from the administrator after the break:
The Georgetown, MIT, and Sheffield pages have been started and provide roughly the sort of structure we would like to see on these pages. I would really like this to be the sort of resource where people can go to see what people are working on everywhere and to get a feel for the sorts of issues that they are likely to find people working on in each department where there is a feminist philosophy contingent.
Wikis are fragile, so people should play nice with one another and not delete other people's hard work. This is intended as a useful and non-judgmental resource. I am hoping to be able to include feminist philosophers of all types and stripes, and I hope that everyone can contribute in an open and productive way.
People should be sure to modify the "home page" and to add a link to their department once they have updated that page. This process is incredibly simple, and it basically requires typing the name of the department and then clicking to add a link--the link should show up nearly automatically unless I have neglected to add a department.
The initial list of departments is big, but others may need to be added, so don't hesitate to contact the list administrator (lbh24@georgetown.edu) to request that a department be added.
