It breaks my heart that I am not able to post condolences to his talk page. I wanted to say so much about what he did for people behind the scenes, how he kept this forum moderated and open for discussion after arbcom closed down the gender gap project, and how when he talked, the ideas rushed out of him as if he knew how little time he had, and could overcome mortality itself in order to accomplish them, but in the end, there are no words, there are no words.
I worked a bit with Kevin in addressing the underrepresentation of feminist philosophy and women philosophers on Wikipedia. We posted something to honor him on the Feminist Philosophers blog here https://feministphilosophers.wordpress.com/2016/08/01/rip-kevin-gorman-unsung-advocate-for-women-in-philosophy/. I didn't know Kevin that well, but I thought that those of you who did might like to know about the post, or maybe comment or add or even correct any inaccuracies, or maybe let other people who were close to Kevin know about the post. I just added information about the post on his talk page-- I hope that's appropriate.
Best, Alex
