*The Charles S. Peirce Society Newsletter, 5:2* *November 2021* Dear Gary, The Executive Committee of the Charles S. Peirce Society is pleased to keep you up-to-date with the latest in Peirce-related news. Many of Peirce’s innovative theories remain as pertinent today as when he conceived them. Scholars continue to work in several of the areas of inquiry Peirce had only begun to explore. As we begin to emerge from the pandemic and as in-person conferences are planned, we hope you will you will consider submitting your finished work to be considered for publication in the *Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society*. In whatever case, please let us know about your contributions to Peirce scholarship by emailing peircesoci...@gmail.com. Yours truly, The Charles S. Peirce Society Executive Committee *Spotlight on the Women in Pragmatism Network* The Women in Pragmatism Network celebrates the past and current achievements of scholars who self-identify as women and of gender nonconforming colleagues researching and advancing philosophy in a pragmatist tradition. Born at an informal breakfast meeting at the Third European Pragmatism Conference in Helsinki in 2018, the network ran its first international conference <https://peircesociety.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d67a1b536f133c3e9f9d5d8c&id=ac287e117f&e=860edf35dc> in January 2020. A much welcome outcome of the 2020 conference is the volume *Women in Pragmatism*, edited by Núria Sara Miras Boronat and Michela Bella, due to appear with Springer in 2022. The network is especially committed to supporting early career researchers. The past eighteen months have exposed the disproportionate impact of the COVID pandemic on women, with early career researchers in precarious employment being especially affected. Throughout this time, the network has offered simple acts of informal support that (hopefully) helped make a difference for colleagues in vulnerable positions: reading and commenting on colleagues’ papers, sharing strategies to balance caring responsibilities and academic work, facilitating networking among colleagues across different countries. To further these aims (and more!) the network is building a ‘find a pragmatist’ <https://peircesociety.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d67a1b536f133c3e9f9d5d8c&id=5bc36a9806&e=860edf35dc> database, an online archive which aims to bring together the exciting and ever-expanding mosaic of Pragmatist research carried out by women and gender nonconforming persons across the world. The next meeting of the Women in Pragmatism network will take place in London on 2 August 2022. This will be a one-day workshop that will precede the Fourth European Pragmatism Conference, which will also take place in London on 3–5 August 2022. Please save the dates—more information on both events will be circulated soon. Peirce scholars are relatively well represented in the Women in Pragmatism network, but we can do much better! If you would like to find out how to be involved, please email Chiara Ambrosio (c.ambro...@ucl.ac.uk) or Núria Sara Miras Boronat (nsmi...@ub.edu ). *The 2021–22 Peirce Essay Prize * The Charles S.

Peirce Society. *In Memoriam: William McCurdy* The Peirce Society is saddened to announce the recent death of Peirce scholar William “Bill” McCurdy (Idaho State University).

The journal, with contributions to Peirce scholarship, may be found here <https://peircesociety.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d67a1b536f133c3e9f9d5d8c&id=a4c3b840a5&e=860edf35dc> . *Peirce’s Portrait at JHU* Peirce’s portrait appears on a mural at Johns Hopkins University. This image can be found in David Marans’s Open Access *Logic *Gallery. The gallery, with 178 figures since Aristotle, can be downloaded for free download at http://humbox.ac.uk/5497/ <https://peircesociety.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d67a1b536f133c3e9f9d5d8c&id=a0e0eb9fc2&e=860edf35dc> David Marans notes, “In 1939, Johns Hopkins alumnus Alfred Jenkins Shriver died, leaving $800,000 to the university. In his will, Shriver stipulated that the funds be used to construct a new lecture hall on the Homewood campus. He provided a lengthy list of conditions to be met if the university were to accept the money. These conditions included the creation of murals depicting the Original Board of Trustees of Johns Hopkins University, the Original Board of Trustees of Johns Hopkins Hospital, the Original Faculty of Philosophy, the Original Faculty of the School of Medicine, Six Generations of the Shriver family, Baltimore Clipper Ships, the Class of 1891, Philanthropists of Baltimore, and Famous Beauties of Baltimore. In the 1950s, the university began construction of the building and commissioned artist Leon Kroll to paint the entrance murals. With the help of Johns Hopkins registrar Irene Davis, Kroll collected physical descriptions, photographs, and costumes to accurately portray the individuals named by Shriver. In 1956, the lobby murals made their debut. “Peirce was on a year-to-year contract in the mathematics department as a lecturer in logic, but with neither rank nor tenure. After five years his contract was not renewed, because of a scandal in his marital and non-marital life. But during those five years he founded and led the Metaphysical Club which had members from several departments including many men from the Philosophy department. Peirce presented many papers at the club’s meetings and gained the admiration of all members. “By the time the artist researched the matter, Peirce had already become recognized as one of, if not the, most famous American philosophers. So in recognition of this, the artist Leon Kroll <https://peircesociety.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2d67a1b536f133c3e9f9d5d8c&id=885bda62df&e=860edf35dc> included Peirce (see arrow, far left). The reason Peirce is not wearing an academic robe is because his only degree was a BA from Harvard.” *Mark Your Calendars!* January 5–8 | Baltimore, MD | American Philosophical Association, Eastern Division | Annual General Meeting and an AMC Session of James Liszka’s *Charles Peirce on Ethics, Esthetics and the Normative Sciences* February 23–26 | Chicago, IL | American Philosophical Association, Central Division | Panel on Pragmatist Perspectives on Trust in Science March 10–12 | Winter Park, FL | Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy August 2 | University College London | Women in Pragmatism Workshop | Call for panels/papers will be circulated at the end of November, please look out for further announcements!
