- APA Site Visit Program. The goal and activities of the program are based on a significant body of research and best practices developed over the past decade by the National Science Foundation ADVANCE program. Specific goals of the APA-CSW-sponsored site visits include:
- Gaining information in a systematic way about the range and variety of women’s and minorities’ experiences in Philosophy that contribute to the ongoing underrepresentation of women and minorities in the field.
- Informing departments, where necessary, about challenges women and philosophers of other underrepresented groups face, drawing on first person reports and social science research.
- Helping departments analyze the climate issues particular to their own setting.
- Making recommendations based on proven best practices. Department Chairs may write to the Chair of the APA Committee on the Status of Women for more information about the program.
