We are excited to announce the Libori Summer School 2026, dedicated to the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists. The Summer School offers an interdisciplinary forum for critical inquiry into women’s intellectual contributions across historical periods, cultural contexts, and disciplinary boundaries.
The Libori Summer School invites applications from Bachelor’s, Master’s and graduate students, as well as post-doctoral researchers interested in exploring the rich, diverse, and often overlooked histories of women philosophers and scientists. We particularly welcome contributions that adopt innovative perspectives, engage with neglected figures or traditions, or challenge established narratives through interdisciplinary approaches.
Possible areas of interest include (but are by no means limited to):
- History of philosophy and science
- Economics and political thought
- Ecofeminism and environmental humanities
- History of medicine and health
- Theology, religious thought, and spiritual traditions
- Global and non-Western intellectual histories
- Women writers, literary culture, and philosophy
- Sustainability, ethics, and social responsibility
- Science, technology, and gender
- Intersections of philosophy, science, art, and culture
The Libori Summer School strongly encourages interdisciplinary dialogue, welcoming submissions that bridge philosophy, history, science studies, literature, theology, economics, environmental studies, and related fields. Comparative, cross-cultural, and transhistorical approaches are especially encouraged.
Join us for an inspiring 5-day Summer School dedicated to the rich and diverse Histories of Women Philosophers and Scientists. The program combines intellectual depth, collaborative exchange, and a vibrant social atmosphere.
