SUMMARY:Normativity and Gender Workshop
UID:20260419T031156Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-f5d4878dd-dnjxp
TZID:Europe/Helsinki
LOCATION:Tampere\, Finland
DESCRIPTION:<p>It is natural to theorize gender within a normative framework: gender is not a neutral classificatory category\, but one which encodes evaluative assumptions\, sets standards of correctness\, and generates reasons and obligations for individuals. At the same time\, philosophical thought about normativity itself - for instance\, about the nature of agency\, reasons\, authority\, or objectivity - has been shaped by socially situated assumptions. As a result\, the intersection between gender and normativity as areas of philosophical theorizing can be particularly fruitful\, enhancing our understanding of both categories and motivating revisions to our existing accounts of either.&nbsp\; &nbsp\;</p>\n<p>We invite abstracts for three contributed talks that explore issues concerning normativity\, gender\, and their connections. Abstracts that lie at the intersections between different fields or subfields of philosophy are also welcome. Possible topics can include but are not limited to:&nbsp\; &nbsp\;</p>\n<ul>\n<li>the nature of gender norms&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>feminist or queer approaches to meta-ethics&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>the role of normativity in the metaphysics of gender&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>normativity and the use of gender terms&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>amelioration as a normative project&nbsp\;</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Submissions from underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged.</p>\n<p><u>Confirmed speakers:&nbsp\;</u></p>\n<p>Stina Bj&ouml\;rkholm\, Institute for Futures Studies\, Stockholm&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Rach Cosker-Rowland\, University of Leeds&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>N.
