****Seeking suggestions for papers to include in a database of
women-authored papers that would be suitable for undergraduate teaching. The database is intended to facilitate the selection of texts written by women to be included in philosophy undergraduate teaching. The database will be freely accessible online, and is intended to be up and running by mid-2010. We aim for a pilot version to be ready by the end of 2009. This project is funded by a Macquarie University Competitive Learning and Teaching Grant, awarded to a team from the Philosophy Department. We are happy to provide more information if that should be useful. Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Cynthia Townley, Albert Atkin, Mitch Parsell and Swantje Lorrimer

***Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Feminist Philosophy
Christina M. Bellon, Associate Professor of Philosophy at California State University is looking for volunteers to write articles for the Encyclopedia of Philosophy on a variety of feminist topics. For a list of possible topics visit this link: http://www.csus.edu/indiv/b/bellonc/iep.html. However, this isn’t meant to be an exhaustive list. Email Christina Bellon if you are interested in writing an article not on the list or if you have some ideas for what should be included (even if you don’t want to write it). There is also a need for volunteers to serve as reviewers for any area of feminist philosophy. Junior colleagues should feel especially encouraged to consider writing. Since the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy is widely used by undergraduate and graduate students, this is a wonderful opportunity to contribute to shaping the content of philosophy for coming generations of philosophers. Link here to visit the Encyclopedia: http://www.iep.utm.edu/. All articles are anonymously peer reviewed. Since it is an electronic publication, there are no publication cycles. Once an article is completed and accepted, it will be posted. If interested in either writing or reviewing for the Encyclopedia please contact Christina M. Bellon at bellon@csus.edu.
