Cambridge Women in Philosophy Conference “Producing, Reproducing and Dismantling the Gendered Academy”

This year’s conference aims to explore and challenge women’s under-representation in philosophy in three ways. Firstly, by discussing the often-overlooked work of women philosophers, we hope to highlight their legacies and contributions to the discipline. Secondly, by analysing how gender imbalances are reproduced within academic philosophy, we aim to identify effective strategies to counteract these inequalities. Finally, and most importantly, we seek to celebrate the work of contemporary women philosophers, from graduate students to early career researchers and accomplished academics, thus securing space within philosophy for such work to thrive.

The conference is free and open to all. If you have any comments or questions about the conference, please do not hesitate to contact the organisers at [email protected].
