As I enter my new role as the chair of the CSW, I would like to thank Rosemarie Tong for her dedicated and able leadership of the committee. From my short time on the committee I can see that much has been accomplished under Rosie’s leadership and I will do my best to continue this work. You can continue to look for exciting sessions at each of the APAs sponsored and co-sponsored by the CSW. I would like to thank all of you who work so hard to organize these sessions, and those who participate in them. If you have specific ideas for session topics or participants, or would like to organize future sessions, please let me know at mckenna@plu.edu. Other ideas for the CSW are also welcome.
I would also like to thank Sally Scholz for her very capable and dedicated work on the Newsletter. Sally will be moving on to other projects soon, though. If you are interested in applying to edit the Newsletter on Feminism and Philosophy please see the announcement in this newsletter.
I am excited to continue the work of so many people whom I admire. I know I have benefited from the work of the committee. Until recently I was the only tenure-track woman in my department—not an unusual circumstance. While women colleagues in other departments have been very helpful and supportive I know I have always found the CSW Sessions, and its work, a big help as I navigated my role as teacher and scholar. Please let me know what we can do in the next few years to be of use to you. I look forward to serving you in any way I can. Thank you.
