Philosophy of Mind (all woman syllabus)
Zoe Drayson (Assistant Porfessor UC Davis) created this syllabus largely to show that it can be done, and to create a resource for other philosophers looking to add female authors to their syllabi. (I did not create this syllabus in an attempt to rid the philosophical world of men.)

Gender Bias in Academe: An Annotated Bibliography of Important Recent Studies
Danica Savonick and Cathy N. Davidson have aggregated and summarised over twenty research articles on gender bias in academe, a crucial resource for International Women’s Day.
An Inclusive Bibliography on Race, Gender, and Related Topics
May 2017: One of the central criticisms of the recent piece in Hypatia by Rebecca Tuvel, “In Defense of Transracialism,” is that it failed to discuss much of the relevant literature by trans* and POC scholars. In the hopes of moving future work in the right direction, this is a collection of relevant resources that emphasizes work by POC, trans* people, and members of other underrepresented groups.

In the hopes of preserving this document, the bibliography can no longer be edited by viewers. If you have a reference that you would like to add or have any questions or comments, please email Meena Krishnamurthy at mkmurthy@umich.edu.
