| Abstract: | This interview focuses on the history, evolution, and future directions of the Committee on the Status of Women (COSW), recently renamed the Committee on Gender, Sexuality, and the Status of Women, within the Philosophy of Education Society (PES). Barbara Applebaum, a longtime PES member and professor at Syracuse University, reflects on the committee’s origins in 1978, its initial focus on addressing gender inequity and increasing women’s representation, and its later engagement with feminist philosophy and broader identity-based justice issues. The discussion highlights ongoing challenges such as the marginalization of feminist and gender-related topics, the need for intersectional inclusion of BIPOC and transgender philosophers, and the importance of creating supportive, intergenerational communities within PES. The committee’s recent name change signals a commitment to expanding its mission to address diverse gender and sexuality concerns in philosophy of education. [Extracted from the article] |
