Putting more female and non-white authors into your intro-class syllabus
Greetings,
It is well known that white male authors tend to dominate most intro class syllabi in philosophy. Well, there is a new resource I came across…
Check out this blog post for the link to a new (and ongoing) database of suggestions for texts authored by female philosophers that you can incorporate into your syllabus.
I hope this helps some of you. ALSO:
I thought of starting similar database just for us grad students at Loyola (and maybe faculty too). Three reasons:
- We would be able to then approach each other and ask “how did you use this particular text?”, “how did it go?”, and so on.
- I would also want to hear of texts written by non-white authors.
- We can more easily access the texts from each other.
[Link to internal database for shared teaching resources is available to Loyolans. Contact us or an AGSP member if you would like access to the database.]
Best, Asaf
