The APA Guide for Graduate Programs in Philosophy is finally available. This guide provides one-of-a-kind, comprehensive information about placement records and demographics, and it includes a list of MA Programs as well as Ph.D. programs. Objective, unbiased information about all programs is now available in one centralized place for the first time. The Pluralists’ Guide applauds the long work and effort it took many people to put this together and supports further efforts in the APA to make good information available to all people interested in pursuing advanced degrees in philosophy.

The Pluralist’s Guide now offers a short Start Up Guide for addressing climate challenges in philosophy departments; it can be found under our Resources tab. Last year we reported the results of a survey of our advisory board in regard to gender issues. This year we offer our Start Up Guide for those who may wish to do departmental surveys of their own, or who may want to take other pro-active steps to address climate concerns. This guide is intended to be of use to the various groups in philosophy who may find themselves experiencing climate distress  because of sexism, racism, homophobia, combinations thereof, or other assorted unphilosophical attitudes.

The Pluralist’s Guide to Philosophy is expanding this year to include a new list for those interested in Latin American and/or Latino/a Philosophy. This is just the initial of a number of expansions planned for the future: most immediately, we will launch a list for Africana Philosophy next year, but also plan to expand to other sub-fields as well.

To join the newly revised listserv on Latino/a Issues in Philosophy, now called “LatPhil,” send an email to Ernesto Velasquez at evelasquez1@udayton.edu

Keep up with conference and book announcements and other relevant news, and share your own announcements. And help spread the word!

A new listing presents information about the number of women in tenure-track positions in philosophy.
