The Society for Women in Philosophy kindly asks for nominations for the Distinguished Woman Philosopher of 2009.

Each year the Eastern Division of the Society for Women in Philosophy comes together to honor a woman philosopher whose contributions to the support of women in philosophy and to philosophy itself are outstanding and merit special recognition. A panel and reception celebrating the honoree’s accomplishments will be organized for the Eastern Division meeting of the American Philosophical Association in December 2009.

Nominations should include a copy of the nominee’s curriculum vitae and a minimum of two supporting letters, which summarize the nominee’s contributions to philosophy and support of women in philosophy.

Please e-mail all nominations to Jen McWeeny, ESWIP Executive Secretary (jmcweeny@jcu.edu) no later than April 1, 2009.
