DESCRIPTION:The year 2025 will mark the 10th anniversary of the Diversity
  Reading List’s existence\, and we are happy to invite you to celebrate 
 with us the various efforts and projects dedicated to making philosophy 
 a discipline of equal opportunity.Since 2015\, the DRL has aimed to make
  philosophy more inclusive\, diverse\, and to promote equality of opport
 unity in our discipline. Racial and gender disparities in philosophy are
  significant\, and if you are not a white cisgendered man\, you are stil
 l likely to belong to a group which is significantly under-represented i
 n contemporary Anglophone philosophy. But the landscape has been changin
 g over the last decade and we are proud to have been a part of that chan
 ge. It that time\, the DRL aimed to address inequalities in representati
 on by helping to overcome their cause: the stereotype of a philosopher a
 s a white male. We continue to do so by making it easier for lecturers t
 o find high quality texts written by authors from under-represented grou
 ps\, by helping students set up reading groups on a diverse range of top
 ics\, and by popularising and conducting own original research into the 
 state of the discipline.At this two-and-a-half-day conference\, we would
  like to celebrate the progress of the last decade and discuss what rema
 ins to be done\; to bring together academics working on themes relevant 
 to the DRL’s mission\, and to make work by authors from under-represente
 d groups more visible in university education and research.\n\nThe DRL A
