SUMMARY:Robert DiSalle - "Émilie Du Châtelet and the Birth of the Philosophy of Physics"
DESCRIPTION:Newton’s Principia inspired countless philosophical commentators\, but few with the insight and the qualifications— both scientific and philosophical— of Émilie du Châtelet (1706-1751). Her commentaries on Newton’s principles provide one of the first and best examples of the philosophical investigation of scientific ideas. \nSpeaker: Robert DiSalle (University of Western Ontario) \n http://catalogue.londonpubliclibrary.ca/search~20/P?SEARCH=Neglected+Voices&submit=Search&searchscope=20

SUMMARY:Women Intellectuals in 18th Century Germany
DESCRIPTION:Women Intellectuals in 18th Century Germany will bring together an interdisciplinary and international group of scholars with the principal aim of detailing the rich philosophical contributions by German women intellectuals in this period. The conference will feature presentations by a variety of experts in the history of 18th century German philosophy\, language\, and culture\, drawn from institutions in Canada\, the US\, Germany\, Austria\, Italy\, and France. At a time when contributions by women in the history of philosophy (such as Émilie du Châtelet\, Margaret Cavendish\, and Anne Conway) are generating unprecedented scholarly interest\, this conference will shed light on the distinctive and important contributions of women to the philosophical scene in Germany and thereby bring more general scholarly attention to the philosophical works and legacy of women in this period. \nFurther Information

SUMMARY:Hannah Arendt - Herausforderungen der Pluralität
DESCRIPTION:Hannah Arendt – Challenges of Plurality is the first workshop of the Research Colloquium: History of Women Philosophers at the Center in the winter term 2017/18. \nThe human condition of plurality cuts through all layers of Hannah Arendt’s political theory. On the existential level\, it radically differentiates every human being from everyone who lives\, ever lived or will ever live on Earth. Political implications of such – seemingly banal – assumption are vital. Used to operating with clichés\, simplifications and impressed by neuroscientific models\, we often forget that human action is ultimately unpredictable. \nWhat role do group identities play in political action? What is the importance of the interplay of equality and difference in the context of political plurality? What measures can be taken to deal with challenges of plurality in our political communities? \nWe will address these questions throughout the workshop. \n  \nSpeakers: \nProf. Dr. Tobias Matzner – “Hannah Arendt über Identitätspolitik (Reflecting identity politics with Hannah Arendt)” \nDr. Maria Robaszkiewicz – “Hannah Arendts Konzept des politischen Denkens angesichts aktueller Migrations-Diskurse (Hannah Arendt’s Concept of Political Thinking in the Light of Current Migration Debates)” \n

SUMMARY:Crises of Democracy: Thinking in Dark Times
DESCRIPTION:We are witness here and around the world to a worldwide rebellion against liberal and representative democracy. In Hungary\, Russia\, Turkey\, France\, Austria\, and across Europe\, right and left wing parties flirt with authoritarian rule. In the United States\, President Donald Trump explicitly channels the demagogic voice of the self-described disenfranchised. Democratic governments everywhere are revealed—as never before—as corrupt\, inefficient\, and undemocratic. The great political achievement of the modern era—stable representative and liberal democracies—is everywhere under attack. \nSurvey data confirms that citizens in democracies\, especially younger citizens\, increasingly oppose freedom of speech\, question the legitimacy of democratic institutions\, and agree with the claim that democracy is a “bad” way to run their countries. While Bernie Sanders and Trump mobilized millions\, they did so in part by attacking democracy. And philosophers David Estlund and Jason Brennan go so far as to call to weigh votes in favor of the better educated. Missing on all sides is a respect for pluralist democracy. \nAlexis de Tocqueville saw the spirit of the United States in townships governed by farmers\, teachers\, and shop owners. The township includes “coarser elements” who resist the educated opinion of the experts and politicians. Which is why township freedom is usually sacrificed to enlightened government. Indeed\, “A very civilized society tolerates only with difficulty the trials of freedom in a township.” A government by elites and experts risks actively disempowering the people. \nHannah Arendt\, whose thinking is at the heart of the center\, knew that democracy is tenuous. She famously wrote\, in 1970\, “Representative government is in crisis today\, partly because it has lost\, in the course of time\, all institutions that permitted the citizens’ actual participation\, and partly because it is now gravely affected by the disease from which the party system suffers: bureaucratization and the two parties’ tendency to represent nobody except the party machines.” Arendt saw the weakness of democracy in encouraging citizens to turn over the time-consuming work of self-government to professional politicians. \nArendt rooted the crisis in democracy in the dissipation of public power. Most liberal-minded people today are fearful of public power. We say power corrupts\, and absolute power corrupts absolutely\, but the insufficiency of this formula is lately all too apparent. We are scared of the power that emerges when people act together against the experts. And we prefer a government of experts\, not least because it frees us to spend our time on private pursuits like consumption and family. The disempowerment of the people in representative democracy embraces our bourgeois preference to be freed to pursue our individual interests\, to be relieved of the duty of politics and public virtue. Much easier to leave governing to the experts. \nThe power and authority of experts is waning. The rise of networks with access to infinite information means that the authority of any one source is diminished. The expertise of the press is challenged by blogs and social media. The authority of government is undermined by accusations of corruption and bias. And the hypothetical claim of science to truth is diminished by the infinite multiplication of information. In all realms\, power has shifted from the shepherds to the sheep. And the sheep organize themselves in energetic and coherent communities based on eccentric beliefs impervious to wider standards of communal truth. What is potentially lost is a common liberal pluralist community\, a meaningfulness unity amongst are real differences. \nThe dangers of democracy are well known. Plato understood that democracies were driven to excessive equality\, the loss of standards\, and corruption\, all of which made democracies susceptible to demagogues and tyrants. Tocqueville warned that democracy without limits threatened a tyranny of the majority. In the face of these dangers\, there are those who argue it is time to shed or radically limit democracy. \nThe two-day conference will seek to answer the following questions: \n•Is there presently a crisis of democracy?\n•Are we witnessing the rise of authoritarian or fascist governments?\n•Does the rule by experts and bureaucrats threaten democracy?\n•How does the centralization of power contribute to the crisis of democracy?\n•Does identity politics threaten or enable pluralist democracy?\n•Should we require tests or education levels for voting?\n•Does the information explosion render obsolete the authority of democratic institutions?\nAbove all\, we ask\, how can we restore vigor and meaning to democracy?

SUMMARY:Ethics and Law
DESCRIPTION:Careful reflection on the relation of ethics to law – and vice versa – is essential.  Ethics is indispensable for law because the law can only be just insofar as it takes up ethical standards. Likewise\, it is for moral reasons that ethics demands that political institutions establish\, implement\, and apply legal claims that are justified in and through ethical reflection. \nIt is also important to reflect upon the scope and limits of norms and their intersection with plural hermeneutical interpretations of actions and/or practices. Furthermore\, the ethical status of the (political) human rights framework must be clarified. What criteria does ethics offer for legal judgments\, and what criteria does philosophy of law offer to moral reasoning? What impact does the theoretical analysis of moral and legal norms have on individual\, social\, and political actions? What is the role of ‘understanding’ or interpretation in the overall endeavor to ‘judge well’? What is the moral function of the law in postmodern and globally interacting societies? Three contexts are of special interest for the discussion: \nAt the beginning of the 21st century\, national law is complemented to a greater extent than in previous centuries by transnational\, international\, and global regulations and soft law\, as is the case\, for example\, in transnational trade agreements and their related governance structures and conducts. The trend to a global ethics\, global justice\, and global structures of governance and institutional regulations reflects the complexity of the relation between ethics and law in a globalized world. \nThe European Union emerged as a community of commonly held values\, now articulated in the European Charta of Fundamental Rights. However\, with the arrival of about a million refugees at the borders of Europe in 2015\, many moral and ethical questions about the legal frameworks of the EU have been raised. What are the implications of the current threats of human and political rights for the relation of ethics to law? \nOngoing debates concern ethical questions related to the criminal justice systems\, civil law\, public law\, and ethics\, and religious legal traditions and ethics. With respect to justice\, for example\, one may want to analyze the different understandings of justice\, e.g. retributive\, restorative\, or reconciliatory justice\, which shape different criminal justice institutions. We will turn to specific legal practices\, both in Europe and beyond\, addressing questions such as the death penalty\, solitary confinement\, political asylum\, the disciplining effect of measures of surveillance\, discrimination of minorities\, or the detention of refugees\, but also broader legal-ethical issues such as freedom of speech\, freedom of religion\, and other related topics. \nWe expect contributions from philosophy\, theology\, and applied ethics\, but also from legal theory and related disciplines. \nThrough different parallel sessions Societas Ethica will address the major moral questions regarding ethics and law. These sessions will focus on: \n\nEthics\, justice\, and the law (i.e.\, normative justification of law)\nMoral cultures and the law\nThe role of morality in positive Law\nConflicts between ethics and laws (death penalty\, solitary confinement\, refugee detention\, ‘emergency law’)\nEthical and legal analysis of reconciliation and reparations\nHuman rights\nThe Implementation of the Paris Agreement: the challenge of climate change\nRights of Refugees (UN Refugee Treaty\, and the Geneva Convention)\nAsylum law\, border control\, identification measures\, and ethics\nNational sovereignty\, global governance\, and international law\nReligion\, theology\, and the law (religious freedom\, secular and religious law\, etc)\nOpen channel (for PhD-students)\n\nPaper proposals should contain no more than 800 words (excluding bibliography)\, and clearly present a moral question or argument addressing one of the aforementioned topics. The deadline is March 31\, 2016. Papers can be presented either in English\, German\, or French. \nPlease send in the following two documents as Word attachments to Silas Morgan at smorgan2@luc.edu\, using the subject line “Societas Ethica 2016 Conference.” \nDocument 1: Your name\, first name\, email address\, institutional address\, the title of your abstract\, the topic under which your paper proposal falls\, and\, if eligible\, your application to participate in the Young Scholars’ Award competition (see information below). \nDocument 2: Your paper proposal including bibliography (max. 10 references)\, keywords and title with all identifying references removed. Please use Times New Roman 12 pt for body\, references and keywords\, and Ariel (bold) 16 pt for headline. \nThe abstract of the conference papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Selected papers (voluntary) will be published in a special issue of the journal De Ethica. A Journal of Philosophical\, Theological and Applied Ethics. \nSocietas Ethica Young Scholars’ Award is awarded to the best presentation by a young scholar. Young scholars for the purpose of this competition are doctoral students and researchers who earned their degree less than two years ago and do not have a tenure-track academic position.

SUMMARY:Karen Detlefsen - "Two Early Modern Models of Thought on Women’s Minds and Education"
DESCRIPTION:In this paper\, Karen Detlefsen (University of Pennsylvania) examines two early modern women’s approach to women\, their minds and education\, and their self-knowledge. Mary Astell is a seventeenth-century thinker who grounds many of her claims in theological commitments. Emilie Du Châtelet is an eighteenth century thinkers whose theological commitments are considerably weaker\, and as a consequence\, her approach to the nest of topics identified is notably divergent from Astell’s. In particular\, Du Châtelet’s disengaging her thoughts on these subjects from a strong theological underpinning opens up for her possibilities for greater activism against social norms that are detrimental to women and their happiness\, even while Astell’s approach allows her to claim greater certainty in the belief that women and men are naturally equal\, and thus deserve equal educational goods.

DESCRIPTION:The interdisciplinary and award winning project “Philosophie in den Medien“ was launched 2014 by Prof. Dr. Ruth Hagengruber (philosophy)\, Prof. Dr. Dr. Gerhard E. Ortner (dramatic staging)\, Ulrich Lettermann (music)\, and Bernhard Koch (filming) to present women philosophers’ thoughts via student performances to the broad public. These performances featured women philosophers and scientists as Émilie Du Châtelet (1706-1749)\, Ada Lovelace (1815-1852)\, and Elizabeth of Bohemia (1618-1680).\nThis new event focuses on Hildegard of Bingen’s (1098-1179) Ordo virtutum. This play\, featuring the medieval philosopher\, was prepared by students from Paderborn University\, under the guidance of Julia Lerius.

SUMMARY:Feminist Philosophy - Feminism\, Phenomenology\, and Genealogy
DESCRIPTION:Keynote speakers: Sigridur Thorgeirsdottir\, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Iceland\, specializing in feminist philosophy\, the philosophy of Nietzsche\, and the philosophy of nature and embodiment. Cecilia Malmström Olsson\, PhD at Lund University in Literature\, with special focus on Dance Studies. Malmström Olsson specializes in dance and aesthetics\, as well as dance and politics from different perspectives\, such as identity\, gender\, race\, and power relations.\n\nThe network Feminist Philosophy: Time\, history and the transformation of thought (2017-2019)\, invites scholars to Saulkrasti\, Latvia\, 26 July–2 August 2017.\nThe aim of the conference is to create a space for critical feminist practices of reading. We want to develop and draw connections between philosophy and feminist theory\, informed by historical perspectives. How can feminism revitalize philosophy and interpretations of its history? What would a philosophical feminism look like? What would it mean to read feminist theory historically?\nThe meeting in Saulkrasti is the second out of a total of six conferences during a three-year period.\nThe first conference Feminist Utopias was held in collaboration with the University of Iceland in March 2017\, attracting about 60 scholars from all over the world.

SUMMARY:Helene Druskowitz and Modern Misandry
DESCRIPTION:This Libori Summer School course “Helene Druskowitz and Modern Misandry” will offer an overview over a minimally investigated “third voice” in the history of ideas: man-hating (misandry\, viriphobia). As some would argue\, misandry\, though more covertly than misogyny\, has always been present in the public discourse of our civilization. However\, around the fin de siècle misogynistic discourse reached an apex: as an answer to it we have two different movements. The first is the widely known and investigated turn-of-the-century feminism that lead to philosophical\, political\, and cultural changes such as the improvement of women’s education\, political rights\, better paid work\, intensifying discourse of the equality of sexes\, equal human rights etc. The second is much less known – misandry\, which regards the human male as constitutionally inferior to and morally more deficient than woman. \nThe focus of our investigation will be Helene (von) Druskowitz (1856–1918) and the context in which she lived and developed her thought. She was a philosopher\, writer\, literary and music critic\, and the first woman in Austria and the second woman in German-speaking countries to obtain a doctorate in philosophy. Besides her academic and literary activities\, she set up journals with topics related to the emancipation of women (Fehderuf\, Der heilige Kampf). Her initial enthusiasm for Nietzsche\, with whom she was personally acquainted\, and his philosophical positions were soon replaced by resentment and disillusionment and she turned into a severe critic of his works. As an antithesis to Nietzsche’s antifeminist positions\, Druskowitz forms her radically feminist position that culminates in her work Pessimistic Cardinal Propositions – Man as a Logical and Moral Impossibility from 1905. In it she depicts a dark futuristic philosophical anti-utopia in which men are destroying the world and fantasizes about the world that would flourish if it were solely inhabited by women. With such radical positions\, she was more than 60 years ahead: it was only in the late 1960s that similar radical positions were expressed\, e.g. in the SCUM Manifesto by Valerie Jean Solanas.\nIn the Libori Summer School we will enquire into following contexts regarding Helene Druskowitz: \n\nHelene Druskowitz’ Philosophy (criticism of religion\, the Free Will problem\, ethics)\nLiterary works of Helene Druskowitz (from: International\, Das Männerproletariat oder die Fällung des Mannes als Tier und Denker)\nHelene von Druskowitz’ feminism and misandry ‘\nDruskowitz’ legacy\n\nLanguage: The seminar will be held in English. \nOrganizer/ Lecturer:\nDr. Dr. Luka Borsic (University of Zagreb\, Croatia)\, Dr. Ivana Skuhala Karasman (University of Zagreb\, Croatia)\, Jessica Harmening (Paderborn University\, Germany) \nGeneral information: As the number of participants is limited to 15 for each course\, please e-mail a one page letter of motivation and a brief curriculum vitae to contact(at)historyofwomenphilosophers(dot)org and cc to jessica.harmening(at)upb(dot)de until July 15th\, 2017.\nEverybody interested in this topic is welcome to attend this seminar. A certificate of participation will be presented to you in the closing ceremony. Participation is free. Transport and lodgings have to be organized individually by the attendees. Please bear in mind\, however\, that the holiday season in Paderborn starts at the end of July. There for we highly recommend to book rooms as soon as possible.

SUMMARY:Women Phenomenologists of the Early 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:Libori Summer School course “Women Phenomenologists of the Early 20th Century”: In 1907\, the Göttingen Circle of phenomenologists was founded by Theodor Conrad – one of many students of Theodor Lipps who travelled from Munich to study with Husserl – and Alfred von Sybel – one of Husserl’s early Göttingen followers. Over the next three decades\, students from around the globe flocked to study with Husserl in Göttingen and in Freiburg. Among these students were numerous women\, some of whom rose to prominence within the early phenomenological movement\, namely\, Hedwig Martius\, Edith Stein\, and Gerda Walther.  \nMartius\, who would later marry Theodor Conrad\, was one of the so-called “invaders” who came to Göttingen from Munich. On the advice of Moritz Geiger\, Martius studied with Husserl\, as well as Adolf Reinach and Max Scheler\, from WS 1910/11 – SS 1912. While studying with Husserl\, she authored Die erkenntnistheoretischen Grundlagen des Positivismus (1913)\, which then served as her doctoral dissertation under the supervision of Alexander Pfänder back in Munich. Despite her philosophical acumen and the respect of her colleagues for works such as her Zur Ontologie und Erscheinungslehre der realen Aussenwelt (1916) and Realontologie (1923)\, because women were not permitted to habilitate\, Martius was unable to secure an academic position until 1949\, when she became lecturer in natural philosophy\, and then honorary professor in Munich in 1955. In opposition to Husserl\, Martius was a staunch defender of realist phenomenology\, and introduced the concept of “real reality” into phenomenological discourse. \nStein came to Göttingen from Breslau to study with Husserl in 1913 at the urging of her cousin\, Richard Courant. She remained with Husserl until 1918\, completing her dissertation\, Zum Problem der Einfühlung (1917)\, under his supervision\, and then working as his research assistant. In the following years Stein attempted to habilitate twice\, producing the works Beiträge zur philosophischen Begründung der Psychologie und der Geisteswissenschaften (1922) and Potenz und Akt (1931). Unfortunately\, she was rejected both times. In 1932\, she obtained a position teaching philosophy at the German Institute for Pedagogical Science in Münster. However\, she was removed from her position in the spring of 1932 due to her Jewish ancestry. She died at Auschwitz in 1942. Stein is widely regarded as one of Husserl’s greatest students\, though her personal and intellectual relationship with the “Master” was often strained. \n\n\n\n\nWalther was one of the founding members of the Freiburg group of phenomenologists. Like many others\, she came to work with Husserl after first studying with Pfänder in Munich. From the summer semester of 1917 to the summer semester of 1919\, she attended lectures and seminars by Husserl\, Stein\, and Heidegger. Her dissertation\, Ein Beitrag zur Ontologie der sozialen Gemeinschaften: Mit einem Anhang zur Phänomenologie der sozialen Gemeinschaften (1922)\, combined elements of Husserl’s mature thought with Pfänder’s views on values and sentiments. After publishing what many consider to be her magnum opus\, Phänomenologie der Mystik (1923)\, she became deeply interested in the paranormal and the occult. This led to her being ostracized from the phenomenological community\, and as a result her place in the phenomenological movement has been largely overlooked. \nThe aim of this summer school is to discuss and critically assess the philosophical works of Hedwig Conrad-Martius\, Edith Stein\, and Gerda Walther. Texts from each of these women will be read\, contextualized\, compared\, and contrasted. Special attention will be paid to how they built on and departed from the work of their phenomenological teachers – Husserl\, Pfänder\, Reinach\, Scheler – and how the works of the early women of phenomenology engaged in a dialogue with each other. Topics which may be covered include: the concept of being\, the realism/idealism debate\, the status of the I\, empathy\, religious experience\, and their critiques of Husserl. \n\nLanguage: The seminar will be held in English. Where possible\, primary texts will be made available in English.\n\n\n\nLecturer:\nProf. Dr. Ronny Miron (Bar-Ilan University\, Israel)\nProf. Dr. Antonio Calcagno (King’s University College\, Canada)\nDr. Rodney K.B. Parker (Paderborn University\, Germany)  \nOrganizer: Julia Mühl (Paderborn University\, Germany) \nGeneral information:\nAs the number of participants is limited to 15 for each course\, please e-mail a one page letter of motivation and a brief curriculum vitae to contact(at)historyofwomenphilosophers(dot)org and cc to the lecturer julia.muehl(at)upb(dot)de until July 15th\, 2017.\nEverybody interested in this topic is welcome to attend this seminar.

SUMMARY:Émilie Du Châtelet on Matter\, Bodies\, Forces\, and Motion
DESCRIPTION:The Libori Summer School “Émilie Du Châtelet: Matter\, Bodies\, Forces\, Motion” focuses on some of the chapters from Du Châtelet’s Institutions de physique (1740/42) within the context of the scientific thinking of her time.\nIn the early 18th century\, the Dutch physicist Willem Jacob ‘s Gravesande\, at Leiden University\, performed a number of experiments wherein he dropped balls of different mass on soft clay\, finding that if the heights from which the balls fell were inversely proportional to their masses\, the indentations made by the balls would be the same. He concluded that the measure of the force of the impact on the clay is given by the weight times the velocity squared and that\, in the case under consideration\, equal forces are produced if the velocities squared are inversely the same as the masses. Gravesande communicated his results on the impact of falling weights to Émilie du Châtelet. In her Institutions de physique (1740/42)\, du Châtelet combined the practical observations of Gravesande to the Leibnizian idea of living forces in order to show that the energy of a moving object is proportional to the square of its velocity: “Maintenant\, enfin\, il y avait une justification forte pour considérer mv2 comme une définition féconde de l’énergie.” \n\n\n\n\nThe Libori Summer School on Émilie Du Châtelet aims to take a closer look at the complexities and interrelations between metaphysical reasoning\, mathematical demonstrative methodology\, and experimental philosophy beyond the outdated empiricism-rationalism scheme\, focusing on the conceptual foundations and formations of theories of motion. This development can be best understood as emancipation from Cartesianism\, Newtonianism\, and Leibnizianism. Émilie Du Châtelet played a key role in this foundational change. Encouraged by the reception of Newton’s Principia in France after 1730 by Voltaire and Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis and the experimental results obtained by Willem Jacob ‘s Gravesande\, Du Châtelet constructed an advanced interpretation of Galileo’s experimental results in terms of early Leibnizian notions which was independent from Leibniz’ later metaphysics after 1680. \n\n\n\n\nLanguage: The seminar will be held in English. \nOrganizer/ Lecturer:\nProf. Dr. Ruth Hagengruber (Paderborn University\, Germany)\nDr. Andrea Reichenberger (Paderborn University\, Germany)\nDr. Dr. Dieter Suisky (Humboldt University\, Germany) \nGeneral information:\nAs the number of participants is limited to 15 for each course\, please e-mail a one page letter of motivation and a brief curriculum vitae to contact(at)historyofwomenphilosophers(dot)org and cc to the lecturer andrea(dot)reichenberger(at)uni-paderborn(dot)de until July 15th\, 2017.\nA certificate of participation will be presented to you in the closing ceremony.

SUMMARY:Karen Green - "Catharine Macaulay\, Brissot de Warville\, and the History of England in the French Revolution"
DESCRIPTION:In 1785 Jacques-Pierre Brissot de Warville was in London\, attempting to set up a society and journal to encourage cross-channel literary and political communication. His efforts resulted in the production of a few issues of the Lycee de Londres. He reported that in England he gained little support or encouragement\, except from Catharine Macaulay. In this paper I examine their friendship\, and explore the influence of Macaulay’s account of the seventeenth-century English Revolution on ‘patriots’ and others\, in France\, prior to and during the French Revolution. \nProf. Dr. Karen Green (University of Melbourne) is giving her talk as part of the Research Colloquium “History of Women Philosophers” at the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists (Paderborn University).

SUMMARY:Fourth Annual Conference by Women in Philosophy
DESCRIPTION:For the fourth year in a row\, the Conference by Women in Philosophy will be held in Amsterdam. This year’s conference will take place on Monday July 3rd\, 2017 at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The goal of the conference is to provide a platform for undergraduate and graduate women philosophers to present their work to their peers. In this way we hope to create an opportunity for young women philosophers to inspire and motivate one another and to forge potentially productive alliances. The conference features a plenary discussion with a keynote speaker (t.b.a.) about the position of women in philosophy\, as well as workshops on academic skills. \nIn the Netherlands\, like in the rest of the world\, women are underrepresented in academic philosophy. Being young women ourselves\, we want to challenge this situation – whilst being aware of the fact that the marginal positioning of women in philosophy also depends on factors other than their sex\, like ethnicity\, religion\, social status\, disability or sexual orientation. We are committed to creating a more balanced environment and to empowering (those identifying as) women to make the academic space their own. \nWe therefore invite (those identifying as) women philosophers (BA\, MA\, PhD\, recent alumnae) to send in abstracts for paper presentations in any area of philosophy. We will accept a maximum of approximately 20 papers. If you are a teacher\, please encourage your women students to react to our… \nCall for papers:\n\nDeadline: 22 March 2017\nWord limit: 500 words\nInclude up to 5 key words.\nPrepare your abstract for blind review (your abstract should be anonymous).\nInclude a separate document with your contact information\, your current academic occupation (i.e.: your position or study program\, or your most recent degree)\, and the title of your paper.\nAbstracts can be submitted via e-mail at womeninphilosophyconference@gmail.com.\nTake into account that you are expected to hand in a paper before the conference\, so that your respondent may read it. The deadline will be communicated to accepted presenters. (Working papers and student papers are eligible.)\nAbstracts may be written in English or Dutch.\n\nEach presenter will have 20 minutes to present her paper and there will be a respondent for each paper. The expected conference fee is €10. Everyone is welcome to attend the conference. The conference is organized by philosophy students and PhD candidates from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and the University of Amsterdam (UvA). \nE-mail: womeninphilosophyconference@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Giving Life to Politics - The Work of Adriana Cavarero
DESCRIPTION:This three-day conference is a sustained engagement with\, and celebration of\, the life work of Italian feminist philosopher Adriana Cavarero. It also marks the publication of her most recent text “Inclinations: A Critique od Rectitude” (Stanford University Press\, 2016). \nKeynote speakers: \nJudith Butler \nUniversity of California\, Berkeley \nAdriana Cavarero \nUniversità degli Studi di Verona \nBonnie Honig \nBrown University \nAdriana Cavarero has been at the forefront of continental feminist philosophy for the past four decades\, working in the interstices of sexual difference theory\, post-structuralism\, political philosophy\, literature and classical thought. Her books have addressed a range of themes\, including feminist political philosophy (In Spite of Plato\, 1995; Stately Bodies\, 2002)\, narrativity (Relating Narratives\, 2000)\, the voice and vocality (For More than One Voice\, 2005)\, and contemporary forms of violence (Horrorism\, 2009). Common to all of Cavarero’s work is an extension of Hannah Arendt’s conceptualisation of uniqueness\, an insistence on the vulnerability of the human condition\, and an immanent critique of western metaphysics. \nCFP: Abstracts of up to 500 words which respond to any aspect of Cavarero’s work should be submitted by no later than 28th February 2017 to Ian Sinclair: I.A.Sinclair@brighton.ac.uk. There are however a limited number of places at this conference. We will prioritise abstracts as they arrive. \nThe University of Brighton’s City Campus is in the centre of Brighton\, a ten minute walk from Brighton railway station. Brighton is thirty minutes by train from Gatwick Airport and around an hour from central London. The campus is near many hotels\, guest houses\, restaurants\, bars and pubs. Brighton and Hove is a major tourist destination in the south-east of England. Consider staying longer to see more of the city if you are able to.

SUMMARY:24th International Conference of the Simone de Beauvoir Society
DESCRIPTION:The University of Haifa (Israel) is pleased to host the 24th International Conference of the Simone de Beauvoir Society “Simone de Beauvoir’s Feminism(s)”. Keynote speakers are Prof. Bauer\, Prof. Bergoffen and Prof. Weiss. \nThe influence of Simone de Beauvoir’s thought on Feminism and Feminist Theory is indisputable. Beauvoir’s The Second Sex is unanimously recognized as one of the main pillars of feminist thought and as a major work of the 20th Century. The Second Sex has informed both feminist thought and feminist political struggle and activism. \nBeauvoir’s feminism is nevertheless not only reflected through The Second Sex\, but also through other philosophical and theoretical books and papers\, short essays as well as her fiction and literary works. Thus\, we might ask: What kind of feminism does Beauvoir advocate? Or\, are there in fact many “Beauvoir’s feminisms”? How are these feminisms connected to other both past and contemporary feminist ideas and feminist struggles? \nThe 24th International Conference of the Simone de Beauvoir Society will take place at the University of Haifa\, Israel\, from June 19-21\, 2017\, hosted by the Women’s and Gender Studies Graduate Program in collaboration with the Philosophy Department. We welcome submissions on Beauvoir’s life and works from a broad range of disciplines. Papers that engage and challenge Beauvoir’s feminist ideas and those that analyze Beauvoir’s feminist work in relation to contemporary political action and theoretical work are desired\, but all work on Beauvoir will be considered. We welcome work from a variety of perspectives- historical\, philosophical\, literary\, comparative analyses\, among others. \nKeynote Speakers: Prof. Nancy Bauer\, Prof. Debra Bergoffen\, Prof. Gail Weiss. \nTo submit your proposal\, please send an abstract of no more than 800 words in English and a short Curriculum Vitae including your contact details and institutional affiliation\, if any\, to the conference organizer: Dr. Sara Cohen Shabot (scohensh@univ.haifa.ac.il) \nCFP: https://philevents.org/event/show/27942 Submission deadline: February 15th\, 2017

SUMMARY:Women\, Authorship\, and Identity in the Long Eighteenth Century - New Methodologies
DESCRIPTION:The Conference “Women\, Authorship\, and Identity in the Long Eighteenth Century: New Methodologies” presented by the University of Oxford\, will take place at June 17th\, 2017. The keynote will be delivered by Prof. Susanne Kord. \nKeynote Speaker: Professor Susanne Kord (Chair of German\, University College London) \nWe are delighted to invite proposals for papers offering new approaches female authorship and identity in the long eighteenth century. Since the 1970s\, feminist criticism has rediscovered a vast body of literary works by eighteenth-century women and uncovered a great deal about the diverse roles that women played in eighteenth-century society and culture\, as authors\, actresses\, translators\, and public figures. Studies of women’s writing have challenged our understandings of genre\, periodisation\, and authorship\, and gender has become an integral part of any discussion of individual identity. \nOrganised by Romanticism and Eighteenth-Century Studies Oxford (RECSO) and the Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH)\, this conference aims to take stock after fifty years of important scholarship and to seek out exciting new methodologies for researching women’s writing and identities in the long eighteenth century (c. 1680-c. 1820). We hope to encourage dialogue between disciplines and languages and would welcome papers from researchers and graduate students working in any national tradition and in fields from literature and history to philosophy\, music\, visual arts\, and sociology. \nCFP: (https://c18womenauthorshipidentity.wordpress.com/) Please send proposals of no more than 300 words to Joanna Raisbeck (joanna.raisbeck@some.ox.ac.uk) and Kelsey Rubin-Detlev (kelsey.rubin-detlev@modlangs.ox.ac.uk) by February 28th\, 2017. \nPapers should be in English and twenty (20) minutes in length. Possible topics might include (but are not limited to): \n— Women’s writing in the canon/as a separate canon \n— Women’s writing and the question of aesthetic merit \n— Biography/biographism in scholarship on women’s writing \n— Anthologising and publishing women’s writing \n— Women’s cultural production as a challenge to traditional historiography and\nperiodisation \n— Uses and misuses of critical theory \n— Anonymity and collective authorship in relation to gender \n— Women’s self-fashioning \n— Comparative/cross-cultural approaches to women’s writing \n— Intersections between gendered and other forms of identity in the eighteenth century \n— Women and women’s writing in fields such as science\, mathematics\, and philosophy
