Reception after Professor Sharon Street’s SWIP-Analytic presentation “Normativity and Water, The Analogy and Its Limits” at the CUNY Graduate Center, October 7, 2013.
The Society for Women in Philosophy was created in 1972 to support and promote women in philosophy. Since that time the Society for Women in Philosophy or "SWIP" has expanded to many branches around the world, including in the US, Canada, Ireland, the UK, the Netherlands, Flanders, and Germany. SWIP organizations worldwide hold meetings and lectures that aim to support women in philosophy; some, such as SWIPshop, focus exclusively on feminist philosophy, while others, such as SWIP-Analytic, focus on women philosophers working in other areas.[1][2][3] One of the founding members of the Society for Women in Philosophy was Alison Jaggar, who was also one of the first people to introduce feminist concerns into philosophy.[4] Each year, one philosopher is named the Distinguished Woman Philosopher of the Year by the Society for Women in Philosophy.[5]
