CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

 The Society for Women in Philosophy (SWIP) UK aims to support and to
 raise awareness of discrimination against women in philosophy. We also
 endeavour to publicise ideas about how academia can be and is
 women-friendly by recognising women friendliness in philosophy
 departments wherever it occurs. With this in mind, SWIP UK implemented
 a new initiative in 2007 to recognise exemplary departments and
 departmental policies that provide support for women in philosophy.
 For departments that have previously been awarded, see:

 http://www.swipuk.org/women-friendly/

 We are now asking for nominations for the SWIP Women-Friendliness
 Recognition 2011. Our primary focus will be on recognising
 women-friendly *initiatives*. We may also recognise whole departments
 as women-friendly, but that is not currently our main plan.
 Recognitions are made on a yearly basis. So, if your institution has
 been previously recognised, you can reapply to be recognised in the
 2011 round. However, this is possible only if there are some new
 grounds for recognition.

 If your department has women-friendly initiatives or policies that you
 consider worthy of recognition (or if you want us to recognise your
 whole department), please email me ([log in to unmask]) with a
 brief description and case for recognition by April 31st 2011.

 Please note: recognition is not confined to philosophy *departments*.
 Schools, research clusters, or whatever your institution uses are
 eligible as well. Further, although we are a UK organisation,
 nominations are not confined to UK institutions.
