Description

More than any other Humanities discipline, philosophy has an underrepresentation problem.

Drawing on the concept of “structural injustice,” this book analyzes underrepresentation as a product of unjust social structures. Within the teaching of philosophy, it explores structural exclusion in the classroom, conversations, and curricula; within philosophical research it investigates power hierarchies and linguistic injustices; as well as how the dominant research methods and practices result from and reinforce unjust structures; and within the philosophy profession it interrogates hiring procedures, evaluative practices, the job market, sexual harassment, and job precarity.

Revealing how these interconnected structures reproduce inequality in academic philosophy, Structural Injustice in Philosophy also advances concrete solutions for change. Its commitment to addressing structural injustice is reflected in its list of contributors, who represent a range of career stages, ages, nationalities, genders, races, levels of ability, and institutional affiliations. In this way, the collection seeks not only to diagnose the problem but also to help transform the discipline.

This project is an initiative of the Minorities and Philosophy organization.
