Had the chance to see @edileon.bsky.social today revisiting her position on the social construction of race. Here she’s explaining what the hell’s going on when North Americans start debating which Spanish tennis players count as “white” and which are “brown” 🎾🤔

La sociedad española no tolera que se normalice el genocidio en Gaza en eventos deportivos y culturales. Israel no puede participar en ningún evento.

Todo nuestro apoyo a las movilizaciones por el pueblo palestino durante la vuelta ciclista. Nuestra ciudadanía es un ejemplo de dignidad.

Poner al mismo nivel ético los altercados que paran la Vuelta, que asesinar a miles de personas y causar hambruna a dos millones de gazaties…. Este es el nivel intelectual y moral de Feijoo.

I agree climate could be part of it, and I like the idea that the now disbanded Feminist Philosophers blog could have been a big part of raising knowledge and changing the climate (founded in the early 2000s). Here is a short, hopeful post from 2019 on this.

Feminist Philosophers Blog: Impact on the Field?

Women earned 37% of U.S. philosophy doctorates in 2024, up from 28% ten years ago.

Bachelor's degrees show a similar pattern. If it were a pipeline effect, the increase in doctorates should be several years later than the increase in BAs, but it's not. So why explains it?
