| Abstract | In her article, Bursten reflects on her decade of experience with the Philosophy of Science Association (PSA) Women’s Caucus. As co-chair from 2015-2018, she oversaw initiatives aimed at creating a more inclusive conference environment for all participants, rather than solely targeting women’s experiences. These efforts, including dependent care grants, on-site childcare, mentoring programs, and bystander intervention training, emerged organically from Caucus members’ interests. Bursten argues that while not always women-specific, these initiatives contribute to the goal of making gender parity unremarkable at PSA meetings. She concludes that the expanding Caucus membership and successful projects give hope for continually improving diversity and climate in the field of philosophy of science.
