Why you should endorse the Call to Action on the GCC

There are excellent women in philosophy in every field and sub-field.  It's imperative to showcase these women at our conferences, not just because they have important things to say but also because we will never be able to attract talented young women to the profession in reasonable numbers unless we can demonstrate in high-profile places -- and not just idly say -- that professional philosophy is a woman-friendly enterprise.  Our goal should be to make the Gendered Conference Campaign, which is currently critical to the health of the profession, a thing of the past.--Nancy Bauer, (Tufts)

The petition is here; the current list of GCCPetition signatures is here; the call for action is here (Mark Lance and I will revise it in light of critical suggestions); the Gendered Conference Campaign is here.
