Our mission
We address structural injustices in academic philosophy and remove barriers that impede participation for members of marginalized groups.
Through our international organizing team and a network of autonomous, graduate-student-led chapters, we work to dismantle the mechanisms that exclude students from marginalized groups from academic philosophy.
We promote philosophical work done from marginalized perspectives, and we work to improve conditions for scholars from marginalized backgrounds — in departments, at conferences, and across the profession.
