Earlier this week we introduced one of the keynote lectures of the Libori Summer School 2026, featuring Prof. Dr. Ronny Miron and her talk “The Phenomenology of Distance and Distance-lessness in Hedwig Conrad-Martius.” Her keynote will take place on 31 July 2026 within the session “Phenomenology.”
Alongside the keynote program, the Libori Summer School will also feature a series of thematic sessions led by international scholars, offering participants the opportunity to engage with current research on women philosophers and scientists across diverse philosophical fields.
Below is an overview of the currently planned sessions and their course leaders (all subject to change).
