EUROPEAN PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE ASSOCIATION |
Below is a list of some of the ways the EPSA has been working to support diversity and inclusiveness in our profession.
As the Steering Committee of the European Philosophy of Science Association, we join those who condemn violence, prejudice and injustice stemming from all forms of discrimination, such as racism, nationalism, sexism, ableism, or classism. These forms of exclusionary thinking exist within European societies and also within our scholarly community. As a professional society we are committed to countering all forms of discrimination by helping to make our field more inclusive.
The EPSA commits to strengthening its activities towards diversity and inclusion, in particular with respect to junior members of the community:
NEW! The European Philosophy of Science Association is looking for volunteers to become mentors in our new initiative: the EPSA Mentoring Programme. This initiative aims to support junior philosophers of science (Graduate Students or early career postdocs) by providing them guidance, advice or general counselling on specific issues that they may face during that stage of their career.
BPA/SWIP Good Practice SchemeThe EPSA is pleased to support the BPA/SWIP Good Practice Scheme. The scheme aims to assist philosophy departments, learned societies, and journals in ensuring that they have policies and procedures in place that encourage the representation of women and other under-represented groups in philosophy. The EPSA is fully committed to Good Practice in all of its activities, including:
