AbstractThis text describes the design and aims of a mentoring workshop for junior women faculty in philosophy, as well as evaluations of the workshop. The workshop was modeled on a successful program in economics focusing on participants’ research and critique among peers. Goals were to provide networking opportunities and share strategies for research productivity and visibility to address the underrepresentation of women in philosophy. Post-workshop survey responses indicate it was an overwhelmingly positive experience. Some limitations were mismatch between mentees’ research areas and mentors’ expertise and insufficient networking time. Going forward, considerations include whether to focus on existing measures of success versus transforming the field, as well as securing ongoing funding.
