Diversifying Syllabi Reading Lists

This project is an effort resulting from a summer reading group comprised of members of the Graduate Student Coalition for Gender Diversity in Philosophy (formerly known as the Climate Coalition) at Georgetown University. The aim is to offer suggestions of readings by diverse philosophers to anyone who might find them helpful in teaching.

Diversity Reading List in Philosophy

Sponsored by the School of Philosophy, Religion, and History of Science at the University of Leeds, the Diversity Reading List is a searchable database of diverse philosophical readings, written by authors from under-represented groups.

Women’s Works

“The Women’s Works provides a list of papers, books or chapters that could be used in undergraduate teaching, so that if an instructor wants to include more work by women in a syllabus, it is easier to do so.”

Syllabi

Diversity and Inclusion Syllabus Collection

Some of these syllabi are completely devoted to an underrepresented area of philosophy, while others contain one or more units on such areas.

Diversifying Syllabi

A compilation of philosophical texts on a variety of topics, written by diverse practitioners, and appropriate for undergraduate courses. Tried and tested by the Diversifying Syllabi Summer Reading Group at Georgetown University.

Diversity Syllabi Project

The APA CSW is gathering syllabi from philosophy courses that have a substantial focus on diversity issues (such as African American Philosophy, American Indian Philosophy, Asian Philosophy, Feminist Philosophy, Philosophy of Disability, Philosophy & Multiculturalism, LGBT Philosophy, etc.).
