THE DIVERSITY READING LIST NEEDS YOU!
In the past couple of years, the DRL has expanded beyond its original goal of categorizing texts written by members of under-represented groups in philosophy for the purpose of helping teachers diversify and decolonize their syllabi. We’ve organized workshops and lecture series to disseminate the knowledge we’ve accumulated. We’ve worked hard to make contacts in Universities and institutions across the world. Currently, we’re working on a large project aimed at philosophy students (no spoilers!). But this meant that our original mission was a little bit neglected.
This is where we need you! The List exists largely thanks to the involvement of all those who care about making philosophy a discipline of equal opportunity. A large portion of the texts it includes have been recommended to us by philosophers from around the globe, and the project development was informed by their helpful suggestions. We encourage you to join this effort and help us enrich this resource by contributing new entries.
The criteria for inclusion in the DRL are:
* At least one author is a member of a group underrepresented in philosophy
* The text can be valuable in teaching UG or PG courses in philosophy
There are several ways you can contribute entries to the DRL:
1. You can submit individual entries on our Contribute page.
2. You can submit several entries at once by filling out our bulk entry spreadsheet and emailing it directly to us at contact@diversityreadinglist.org.
3. You can organize a contribution drive (or edit-a-thon) in your own department.
If you wish to organize a contribution drive, let us know and we can help you out! One of our team members can come to your department (online or in-person when possible) and explain how the DRL works and give you some tips on diversification.
All the best,
The DRL Team
