Feminist Philosophy, Now and Then
Register
This event aims to foster an intergenerational exchange between scholars, activists, and students who are engaged with feminist thought across various contexts and traditions.
Feminist philosophy has long been a critical force in reshaping the boundaries of academic inquiry and public discourse. As it continues to respond to shifting cultural, political, and intellectual landscapes, this workshop seeks to reflect on its changing premises and themes. How have feminist philosophical frameworks adapted to new challenges in the 21st century? What conceptual tools remain central, and what new perspectives have emerged?
The workshop will provide a platform for discussing the ongoing relevance and productiveness of feminist philosophy today.
A key aim of the workshop is to create a space for intergenerational dialogue. To that end, we have invited established scholars and early-career researchers to come together in a spirit of collaboration, sharing insights and questions that animate their current work.
This workshop is organized with support from the philosophy department of the University of Amsterdam, the Duitsland-Institut, the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis, the Philosophy & Public Affairs Capacitygroup, and the OZSW.
