The ASCP aims to support and promote equity and diversity both in the Society and in philosophy more broadly. The ASCP rejects any unethical forms of discrimination, such as those based on race, sex, gender, disability, sexual orientation, and age. The ASCP is deeply troubled by the past and present failings of the academic profession and culture of philosophy in achieving acceptable standards of equity and diversity, such as the well documented underrepresentation of women in Australian academic philosophy (see the AAP ‘Statement on Gender (2014)’ for specifics. http://aap.org.au/Gender-Statement ).
The ASCP is committed to the following initiatives to actively support and promote equity and diversity:
