Accessibility & Inclusion Statement

NASSP is committed to creating an inclusive intellectual community where philosophers from historically marginalized groups feel welcome and are able to participate. NASSP recognizes that there are a variety of barriers of entry due to systemic discrimination and oppression that might prohibit participation in its events and governance (and in professional philosophy more broadly). NASSP is committed to removing those barriers and challenging oppressive norms within the profession more broadly, specifically (though not exclusively) for those related to race, ethnicity, Indigeneity, sexual orientation, ability, class, or gender.

About the Committee on Accessibility and Inclusivity

The Committee on Accessibility and Inclusion develops and recommends NASSP policies and practices to enhance accessibility and inclusivity. It also works with Program Committees to foster accessibility and inclusivity at NASSP conferences, panels, and other events by providing a committee member to serve in an ex-officio non-voting capacity on the Program Committee. The chair of the Committee on Accessibility and Inclusion serves on and reports to the Executive Committee.
