THE CENTER FOR THE HISTORY OF WOMEN PHILOSOPHERS AND SCIENTISTS

The Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists was founded in 2016 by Prof. Dr. Ruth E. Hagengruber with the support of Svenja Schulze, who was the Minister for Science and Innovation in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia at that time. It is an international research center dedicated to collecting and researching the immaterial cultural heritage of women philosophers and scientists. In the context of numerous research projects with international cooperation partners, scholars from all over the world come to us to rewrite history together in summer schools, workshops, and conferences. The resulting texts are internationally published (Springer, Brill, DeGruyter) with a special emphasis on the promotion of young international scholars (New Voices Network).
