Feminist philosophy has emerged in the last decades as a vibrant field within Western philosophy. It has resulted in questioning canons of philosophy \;as well as core concepts of the philosophical curriculum. Feminist epistemology\, ethics\, aesthetics and metaphysics \;have contributed to a richer understanding of the epistemic\, \;ethical\, perceiving and embodied subject. The pastand the present of philosophy as an academic discipline appear in a \;different light. Despite this\, philosophy still has one of the lowest proportion of women and minorities among students and \;faculty when compared to other disciplines within the humanities and the sciences as a whole. \; \;Does that have to do with \;the lack of acceptance of feminist work within philosophy? Or is it necessary to dig deeper in order to understand the \;resistance of philosophy towards change in this respect? The keynote speakers at this conference\, Sally Haslanger and \;Linda Martí\;n Alcoff\, have gained widespread attention for their writings on the institutional culture\, content and styles of \;philosophy\, as well as for their initiatives on improving the situation of women and minorities in philosophy. The NNWP \;calls for papers that discuss if\, and if so \;how feminist philosophy has changed philosophy.
