New APPS

This evening I had an opportunity to get together with the other women in my philosophy department at UC Davis, and it caused me to reflect on how far we have come – when I joined the department in 2006, I was the only woman.  Elaine Landry (front center) joined in 2008, followed by Marina Oshana (back right) in 2009.  We stayed that while for awhile, until a recent spate of hires gave us Tina Rulli (front left) in 2014 and Zoe Drayson (back center) and Alyssa Ney (front right) starting just this fall.  We are now 6 full-time women faculty out of 15!  So, I just wanted to take this moment to celebrate, hoping that others have similar stories to tell and that they will share them here.  Please do!
