The American Philosophical Association (APA) has announced which projects will be funded during the 2022-23 academic year by its Diversity and Inclusiveness Grant Program and its Small Grant Program. The APA’s Diversity and Inclusiveness Grant Program each year has up to $20,000 to fund “one or two projects aiming to increase the presence and participation of women, racial and ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, people of low socioeconomic status, and other underrepresented groups at all levels of philosophy.” This year, the grant-funded projects are: The Lavender Library: Institutionalizing Access to Queer Theory, Courses and Speakers at a Regional Comprehensive University in the South ($10,000) According to the Public Religion Research Institute, Arkansans are the least supportive of measures to protect LGBTQ+ people from discrimination compared to all states (3/26/19). Following the central tenet that queer theory include praxis to challenge the logic of domination, the University of Central Arkansas will support the community by creating The Lavender Library: Institutionalizing Access to Queer Theory, Courses and Speakers at a Regional Comprehensive University in the South. This initiative meets needs of LGBTQ+ students in a safe, life-affirming space. Focus areas include identity development; queer theory; transgender representation; gender expression; gender identity; sexuality; intersex experiences; and intersectionality. Scholarly, autobiographical, and reference/resource materials focus on aspects of LGBTQ+ life including art; drama; health and medicine; history; legal issues; literature; music; politics; psychology; philosophy; religion; theory; and work/career issues. Savage Education: Epistemic Injustices of Native American Boarding Schools ($10,000) The aim of the Savage Education project is to identify and understand colonial, western pedagogical practices that contribute to the absence of Native American students (and other students of color) in philosophy. By researching and discussing the curriculum and pedagogical practices of Native American boarding schools, we hope to find better practices that encourage under-represented students to engage with philosophy courses. It will also provide early-career Native American philosophers with an opportunity to collaborate and develop research projects pertaining to Native American philosophy of education. The APA’s Small Grant Fund normally has around $25,000 to distribute across a range of projects. The projects funded in this round are: 2023 Latinx Philosophy Conference ($1,250) This proposal is for the 2023 Latinx Philosophers’ Conference. The first..
