Society for Women in Philosophy
The Society for Women in Philosophy (SWIP) is an organization dedicated to promoting the participation of women in the field of philosophy. Founded in the 1970s, it aims to address issues of gender inequality and to support women philosophers through networking, mentorship, and advocacy. SWIP organizes events, conferences, and discussions to highlight the contributions of women in philosophy and to foster a more inclusive academic environment.
SWIP also publishes a newsletter and maintains an online presence to share resources and information relevant to women in philosophy. The organization encourages collaboration among its members and seeks to raise awareness about the challenges faced by women in academia, particularly in the field of philosophy, where they have historically been underrepresented.
