UPDirectory
The UPDirectory can be searched by gender to find living women in philosophy. It also publicizes information about living philosophers who are members of other traditionally underrepresented groups in philosophy. The purpose of the directory is to provide an easy-to-use resource for anyone who wants to learn more about the work of philosophers who belong to underrepresented groups within the discipline. For the purposes of the UPDirectory, traditionally underrepresented groups in philosophy are specified by gender, race, disability, and sexual orientation.

Diversity Reading List
Project Vox: The website has three primary goals. First, it seeks to provide students at all levels with the materials they need to begin exploring the rich philosophical ideas of Astell, Cavendish, Conway, Du Châtelet and Masham. Second, it aims to provide teachers with the material they need to incorporate these figures into their courses. Third and finally, it aims to help transform our current conception of the canon.
