and invites discussion.  Abstract below:

In this essay I ask what is the responsibility of philosophy
graduate programs, philosophy faculty, and professional organizations of
academic philosophers toward individuals who are interested in pursuing a
philosophy Ph.D.. I am especially concerned about responsibilities toward
members of groups that are underrepresented in philosophy as an academic
discipline who are being actively recruited into the pool of applicants to
Ph. D. programs. I ask my questions against a background of bad news about
the state of philosophy as an academic profession and the academic
humanities more generally, and a reasonable anticipation that there is no
light at the end of the tunnel, and so the job prospects of philosophy
Ph.D. aspirants are not good. Because of endemic academic inequalities,
philosophy Ph.D. aspirants who are members of groups that are currently
underrepresented in philosophy are likely to be even worse off than others.
