This evening I had an opportunity to get together with the other women in my philosophy department at UC Davis, and it caused me to reflect on how far we have come - when I joined the department in 2006, I was the only woman. Elaine Landry (front center) joined in 2008, followed by Marina Oshana (back right) in 2009. We stayed that while for awhile, until a recent spate of hires gave us Tina Rulli (front left) in 2014 and Zoe Drayson (back center) and Alyssa Ney (front right) starting just this fall. We are now 6 full-time women faculty out of 15! So, I just wanted to take this moment to celebrate, hoping that others have similar stories to tell and that they will share them here. Please do!
