"The first step in reforming the canon of philosophy is identifying those persons who are philosophers, and identifying the works and/or teachings that they have bequeathed to us but that have been hidden, often for millennia. We Americans and Europeans have made great strides in the past several decades, identifying women philosophers from our traditions.  Less work has been accomplished to identify women from outside the western tradition, especially women who may have written in non-western languages, who may represent lesser-known philosophic traditions, or who may have taught at institutions that no longer exist. [...] Turkey, half in Europe, half in Asia, is ideally located for colleagues who are in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Northern Africa who might have difficulty networking with other scholars specialized on the history of women's contributions to philosophy, or difficulty travelling to conferences that are focused on the contributions of women to this field."
