Diversity and Inclusion
The Department of Philosophy seeks to serve the diverse student body at Georgia State. In support of this goal, the Department:
- Works towards creating an intellectual environment in all philosophy classrooms and all sponsored programming that is inclusive of students’ experiences, beliefs, and perspectives, regardless of their race, religion, language, immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identification, ability status, socioeconomic status, national identity, or any other identity markers.
- Aims to create workspaces that are respectful and inclusive of persons of diverse backgrounds and identities.
- Offers the Arlene and Alvin Altman Scholarship for an undergraduate student and the Andrew Altman Social Justice Scholarship for a graduate student, both of which aim to promote inclusion in the discipline.
- Maintains a Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) chapter to provide support and community for underrepresented groups in philosophy.
