Society for Women in Philosophy

The Society for Women in Philosophy (SWIP) is an organization dedicated to promoting the presence and visibility of women in the field of philosophy. Founded in the 1970s, SWIP aims to address gender inequalities within philosophy by providing a supportive community for women philosophers, fostering scholarship, and advocating for their contributions to the discipline. The society organizes events, discussions, and publications to highlight women's work in philosophy and encourages collaboration and mentorship among members. Through these efforts, SWIP seeks to create a more inclusive and equitable environment in philosophical inquiry and academia.
