Philosopher of 2020
Final reminder! The

January 16 from 11am-12:50pm EST. (It is listed as “20M” on the APA Eastern
Division Program, which can be found here.) Dr. Garry (Emerita,
California-State LA) is the recipient of the 2020 Distinguished Woman

outstanding scholarly contributions to the discipline of philosophy, as well as
service within the discipline, including committee work, mentoring women and
people of color, and promoting equity within the discipline. Panelists are Alison
