Throughout the course of her career, Morgan was an active member of numerous professional organizations including: Philosophy of Education Society (PES), Society for Women in Philosophy (SWIP), the journal Hypatia, Canadian Society for Women in Philosophy (CSWIP), and the Canadian Women’s Studies Association (CWSA). Records in this series include correspondence, newsletters, and conference programmes documenting Morgan’s participation and membership in these groups. There are also files documenting the creation of CSWIP, first as a “Women’s Caucus” of the Canadian Philosophical Association, before becoming its own Society in 1976.
Also included in this series are records documenting the first Canadian conference on Women’s Studies – “Women, Power and Consciousness,” held at New College, October 30-November 1, 1981. This event was organized by Paula Caplan, Sylvia Van Kirk, and Mary Anne Wilson, with support from Morgan who also spoke at the conference.
