My main service activity consists of co-managing the Diversity Reading List in Philosophy (DRL), which celebrated its 10th Anniversary in 2025!
The DRL is at its core an online database of philosophical texts written by underrepresented authors in Philosophy. Each text is accompanied by teaching comments, difficulty levels and curriculum ideas to help teachers in their own diversification efforts.
However, the DRL also aims to make it easier for students of philosophy to learn about topics, traditions, and figures which are not traditionally represented in their curriculum.
Specifically, our Reading Group Blueprint project provides free, readymade reading groups on topics not traditionally taught in this context.
Finally, we also conduct our own research into the state of the discipline. For instance, we've analysed what is (not) taught on the HE curriculum in the UK. We have also examined the marginalising effects built into the discipline's indexing system, such as PhilPapers. On that basis, we designed and implemented a 'fair and inclusive' indexing system to categorise our own List (you can read all about it here).
The DRL is entirely volunteer-run, grant-dependent, and generously supported by the Marc Sanders Foundation, which takes donations on our behalf. If you'd like to support our work, head this way.
