International Association of Women Philosophers (IAPh) (Web)

Veneu: Monash University, Melbourne, Australia
Time: 7-10 July 2016
Deadline: 30.09.2015

Founded in 1976, the IAPh is an organisation committed to promoting ‘discussion, interaction, and cooperation’ among women in philosophy worldwide. In honour of the IAPh’s 40th anniversary, this symposium proposes to celebrate women’s diverse historical and contemporary contributions to philosophy, and to highlight the work of female philosophers in all branches of philosophical and feminist inquiry.

We particularly invite papers that reflect on the history of women’s engagement with philosophy and feminism in Europe, the Americas, Australasia, Asia, Africa, and elsewhere, during the past forty years, and back to the earliest periods. The conference themes, history, values and knowledge reflect the broad scope of contemporary research on historical women philosophers, on feminist ethics and politics, and on questions of feminist epistemology. Submissions in other areas of philosophy and femini! st theory are also welcome.

• Invited speakers: Moira Gatens (Sydney, Australia), Ruth Hagengruber (Paderborn, Germany), Sally Haslanger (M.I.T, US), and Lisa Shapiro (Simon Fraser, Canada)
