Welcome to the the home page of the Society for Women in Philosophy. This page receives roughly 1000 requests per week.

The Society for Women in Philosophy was started in 1972 to promote and support women in philosophy. SWIP holds divisional meetings, meetings in conjunction with the meetings of the American Philosophical Association, and it publishes newsletters.

NOTE: This page is maintained on a purely voluntary basis by Dr. Cynthia Freeland. She cannot always respond immediately to your queries or suggestions, but will try to do so eventually. If you would like to volunteer to maintain some related pages (we could use pages to cover calls for papers or job listings), please write to let her know and she will be happy to share the load.
Send queries or suggestions to CFreeland@UH.EDU.
