ESWIP has been on hiatus due a lack of volunteers to be officers. The previous officers and a couple of others (including me) are trying to revive it. Towards this end, we are creating an ESWIP email list. This list will be a way to communicate with
ESWIP about the Distinguished Woman Philosopher of the Year, about ESWIP panels and sessions at the APA, about ESWIP workshops, conferences, etc. You do not need to pay dues to be on the email list. Women philosophers and feminist allies are welcome to join.
(Note too that SWIPs don't have a geographical residence requirement!)
In the past, ESWIP has been run by an Executive Secretary and a Treasurer. It is open to ESWIP to revise its structure and be run by a Steering Committee or something of that sort. One person has agree to help but not be an "officer," so if we get a
few people to step up to help, a committee structure might work. (It may even be worth reconsidering the divisional structure of SWIP and join forces in a national SWIP - you could be part of this conversation!) The form that invites you to sign up for the
list also asks about whether you might help in other ways. If we don't find a new governance structure, ESWIP will disappear. This is your opportunity to be part of the new SWIP! :)
Please complete
this form to be on the ESWIP email list. Please spread the word - forward this to your lists.
best, Sally
NOTE: I'm on research leave 1/19-9/19, and am also swamped with email. It may take me longer than usual to get back to you. If there is time pressure for a response, please email me again and include URGENT in the subject
line. I'll do my best to get back to you. Thanks.
