This paper introduces The Challenge of Epistemic Responsibility: Essays in Honour of Lorraine Code. In this symposium of papers, invited by Feminist Philosophy Quarterly, the authors return to Code’s first book, Epistemic Responsibility (1987), to re-read it, respond to it, and rethink Code’s articulation of epistemic responsibility anew, considering it in light of her other work and drawing it into contact with their own. This symposium is the outcome of a conference panel that Anna Mudde co-organized with Susan Dieleman, held October 25, 2015, at the annual meeting of the Canadian Society for Women in Philosophy (CSWIP) at Mudde’s institution, Campion College at the University of Regina, in Saskatchewan.

Two men were leaders in the development of plant physiology research in Canada: Professor G.W. Scarth at McGill University and Professor G.H. Duff at the University of Toronto. The latter was the driving force behind the formation of the CSPP in 1958. The contributions of these two men and their graduate students to plant physiology research in Canada are briefly summarized.

Rare Opportunity

Abstract This article traces the development of a large contingent of Jewish students among those enrolled in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto from 1910 to mid-century. During most of this period, unlike many other North American universities, Toronto imposed no quotas on Jewish entrants, nor any systematic barriers to their academic progress. Many of them found the university's medical school an educational niche, and a relatively rare opportunity to acquire the means to make a respectable professional living. The students' socio-economic backgrounds and academic careers before and during medical school help to illuminate that experience. By examining the peculiar intersection of university policies and the political culture of the province, the article also seeks to explain why, over most of the period, the University of Toronto maintained the principles of accessibility and opportunity for all, despite the prevalence of anti-Semitic attitudes in the larger Canadian society.

Taking Responsibility

From the editor: On behalf of the editors of FPQ, I thank our colleagues for providing us their public addresses at the Celebration of Life of Professor Claudia Falconer Card of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who died on Saturday, September 12, 2015. Claudia Card was the author of over one hundred articles and books, key works of moral and feminist philosophy including Confronting Evils: Terrorism, Torture, Genocide (Cambridge 2010), The Atrocity Paradigm: A Theory of Evil (Oxford 2002), and The Unnatural Lottery: Character and Moral Luck (Temple 1996). She was the president of the Central division of the APA 2010-2011, which she often described as her favorite division of the APA. She earned her BA from UW-Madison, and her PhD in 1969 from Harvard University, as the advisee of John Rawls, whom she spoke of with affection as one of the most sensitive and generous of philosophers. I remain grateful to Claudia for being the sort of philosopher who helped her students, colleagues, and readers to confront our responsibilities, and the responsibilities of others, as she lived her own philosophy of taking responsibility for one’s own identity.
