The Rutgers Department of Philosophy strives to maintain a supportive environment for graduate students belonging to other underrepresented groups, including LGBTQ graduate students, graduate students of racial and ethnic minorities, and graduate students with disabilities. Though some of the challenges faced by members of these groups are the same as those faced by women in philosophy, many are not. In recognition of the need to address the situation of each underrepresented group individually, the Department has collected a number of resources for students from underrepresented groups in philosophy.
