| Abstract | This article reflects on the compounding vulnerabilities facing women philosophers of color and other intersectional identities in Australian academia. Though some progress has been made in improving women’s participation in philosophy since the 2008 AAP project, the author argues more work is needed to address diversity issues at the intersections of race, gender, disability, etc. She describes feelings of self-doubt and not belonging as a Filipino woman philosopher specializing in male-dominated subfields, situated within her developing country background. Mentoring has helped, but ultimately the “brown babe’s burden” refers to the extra emotional and identity labor intersectional philosophers must perform to find their place on the shelf. The author calls for more consciousness of and supports for diversity in Australasian philosophy. This content was generated by artificial intelligence using the text of the original work. |
