In addition to celebrating Lorraine Code's winning of the distinguished woman philosopher award, the Eastern Society for Women in Philosophy is beginning the process of selecting next year's winner. To that end the current committee needs two new members. Any philosopher who is employed or housed in a nation with a SWIP chapter is eligible to apply to be a member of the committee. The committee encourages diversity of rank, as well as of specialization, so junior scholars and those who work in underrepresented areas of philosophy are strongly encouraged to apply. Applicants must be members or join ESWIP (dues are $10, $20 or $30, dependent on employment status). To apply, please send the following information to Maeve O'Donovan, at [log in to unmask]: a current curriculum vitae , a brief statement of your interest in serving on the committee, your qualifications, and proof of your commitment to the discipline of philosophy in the form of an academic position in philosophy, publications in the field, or other evidence deemed acceptable by the committee. The deadline in December 31, 2009. To join ESWIP, or to renew your membership, visit our membership website: http://www.savannahstate.edu/eswip/membership.htm Maeve M.
