Description
Established in 2013, the American Philosophical Association’s Fund for Diversity and Inclusiveness supports efforts to make philosophy more diverse and inclusive, from the undergraduate major to the professoriate. It funds projects with a demonstrable impact on the representation of and climate for women, people of color, LGBT people, people with disabilities, and other underrepresented groups in philosophy.
The fund places special emphasis on seeding new and innovative initiatives rather than sustaining established projects. The APA favors work that can serve as a model for other institutions, with recipients willing to share project information, and prefers projects that have already secured local support. This donor fund is distinct from the APA’s separate Diversity and Inclusiveness Grant Program.
