Sorry, I forgot I was replying to the FEAST list when I explained about FEAST.  I just wanted to add that in the olden days SWIP was really the only organization supporting feminist scholarship. Now there are quite a few (SAF, FAB, FEAST, etc.), many of which cater to specializations within feminist philosophy.  It might be worth thinking about what SWIP’s role and purpose might be given this proliferation.

Perhaps those more in the know about this than I can chime in:

The Society for Analytic Feminism (SAF) seems to be going strong.  It does not have a divisional structure, nor does it sponsor a conference regularly.  It does, however, organize sessions at all of the APA’s.  My experience is that they are well-attended.

FEAST (Feminist Ethics and Social Theory) is also going strong.  Its main task is to sponsor a biennial conference, which is also well-attended in my experience.

Maybe SWIP would benefit from following one of these two models.

Dear Colleagues,

Would eliminating the divisional structure of SWIP perhaps help to revive it?

There could be a single administrative body/officers and the conference could perhaps meet in a different region each year, depending upon whose institutions could support and host the meeting.

Just a thought.
