Here's the URL: http://philosophicalspaces.wordpress.com/ The self-description:
This is a blog that discusses and advises people about how to make the climate in their philosophy department and other professional spaces more hospitable. Some have argued that the norms of behavior in philosophy departments are part of what explains why Anglophone philosophy is not as diverse as other disciplines in the academy. We are sympathetic to this hypothesis, but also believe that an inhospitable environment is bad for everyone and does not produce the best philosophy.
The blog’s authors consist of a group of philosophers who have been involved in climate issues for some time.* Many of them have been trained for the APA Site Visit Program. Although we don’t represent a full cross-section of the profession, we are committed to diversity of all kinds and reach out to others to get input when we recognize that our own experience may be inadequate to address the issue at hand. We don’t have all the answers and recognize that there are complexities to any situation that we will not fully appreciate, given that we are responding to a question posed online. Because usually more than one strategy will be worth considering, we may post more than one reply to a given question. But even when only one reply is posted, other options should be considered. We are doing our best to offer helpful suggestions, but the responsibility lies with the reader to use good judgment in acting.
