October 10–11, 2024: Feminist Analytic Philosophy

Description:

Since the mid-20th century, feminist perspectives have received considerable attention within the field of philosophy, particularly in areas often associated with 'Continental philosophy.' Within the 'Analytic' tradition, though, feminist approaches have been rather overlooked, marginalized, or even deprecated. However, in recent years, researchers across all subdisciplines of Analytic philosophy have increasingly recognized the value of feminist philosophy and have actively contributed to its development. This conference aims to share and discuss the latest research by bringing together speakers who work within a diverse range of feminist and analytic approaches to philosophy, uniting both established experts and early career researchers.
