Mentoring Workshop for Early Career Women in Philosophy

The Mentoring Workshop for Early Career Women in Philosophy is seeking both mentees and mentors for its next installment, which is taking place in June, 2025. The Workshop’s organizers, Carol Hay (University of Massachusetts Lowell), Willow Starr (Cornell University), Lori Watson  (Washington University, St. Louis), and Yolonda Wilson (St. Louis University), sent along the following announcement: We are delighted to announce that the 7th Biennial Mentoring Workshop for Early Career Women* in Philosophy will be held June 4-6, 2025, at Washington University in St Louis, Missouri.

Members of groups underrepresented in Philosophy are especially encouraged to apply.  Details of the application process can be found here. The deadline to apply is December 15, 2024. There is no charge for participation in the workshop, but mentees’ home institutions are expected to cover the cost of their transportation, room, and board. We recognize and deeply regret if the cost of attending the workshop is prohibitive. While the Mentoring Workshop operates on a limited budget, we invite those without adequate institutional support to contact us directly, so that we can offer support and advice as best we are able. We would like to invite senior scholars interested in serving as mentors for the Mentoring Workshop to..
