Lost voices: on counteracting exclusion of women from histories of contemporary philosophyIn European philosophy as it is currently taught, the canon disseminated is male-dominated. The common justification is that there simply have been no significant women philosophers, since pre-20th century women were societally disenfranchised of education. However, recent scholarly development is showing that this is far from the truth. Scholars of the last two decades are rediscovering a trove of women philosophers, especially in the early modern period, that have been just as influential in commanding the intellectual course of philosophical disputes that define today. However, there does not exist a due amount of scholarly attention on these figures to whom we owe so much of our philosophical development. Through the aid of digital humanities initiatives, community of scholars today have worked to bring them back into scholarly light. In addition to systematic research into those female figures as philosophers, international projects are also creating platforms that provide accessible narratives of these philosophers to those at any level of educational interest, that is, from curious students to professional researchers. Nonetheless, far more work needs to be done for these women philosophers be widely included in the pedagogical canon and brought into greater public awareness.

Why has gender equality progressed so much more slowly in philosophy than in other academic disciplines? Here, I address both factual and theoretical matters relating to the causes, effects, and potential redress of the lack of women in philosophy. First, I debunk extant claims that women are more likely than men to disagree with their philosophy professors and male peers; that women are more sensitive to disagreements in the philosophy classroom than men are; and that the gender imbalance in philosophy is no worse than in many cognate disciplines. Second, I discuss ways in which the nature of philosophical inquiry and debate may provide uniquely strong opportunities for person-perception to hinder progress toward egalitarian treatment of interlocutors. And third, I argue that a diversity of perspectives in philosophy is essential not only for reasons of social justice, but also for philosophical progress. Efforts to improve philosophy should therefore countenance the role of person-perception in the practice of philosophical debate. For philosophy to become more diverse, the steps the profession takes to achieve that goal will have to go beyond—and not merely match—the steps taken to increase the numbers of women and otherwise underrepresented individuals in other fields.

Objectivity, Diversity, and Uptake: On the Status of Women in PhilosophyThis paper argues that diversity and uptake are required for objectivity. In philosophy, women are underrepresented with respect to teaching, publishing, and citations. This undermines the objectivity of our research output. To improve women's representation and objectivity in philosophy, we should take steps to increase women's numbers and institute uptake-conducive conditions. In concrete terms, this means fostering an appreciation for diversity, diversifying evaluators, integrating women's contributions into mainstream discourse, and reducing implicit bias.
