Second Wave Survey of Women’s Representation in U.S. Philosophy Graduate Programs

This survey provides data on representation of women faculty in 98 U.S. philosophy programs that provide graduate instruction in philosophy. Its intent is to serve as a second wave survey of departments conducted by Dr. Nicole Hassoun in 2015 (Hassoun and Conklin 2015). As with Dr. Hassoun’s original survey, the survey data is based primarily on information found on philosophy department websites, but it differs from the original survey in providing subsequent feedback from department heads, a brief period for open comment, and inclusion of nonbinary faculty. The survey is intended to reflect representation for the Fall 2019 semester by rank, and it is not intended to reflect subsequent staffing changes.
