Philosophy Department and the Center for the History of Women Philosophers announces
Call for Papers
For more than 40 years, the International Association of Women Philosophers (IAPh) has been a decisive organisation in encouraging and promoting women’s research in philosophy and its history. Founded in Germany in the 1970s, it is now a global network for all women who work in philosophy. Given its strong tradition, IAPh covers feminist philosophy as well as the history of women philosophers. The slogan of our conference emphasizes and does justice to the crucial role women have played in shaping and advancing our discipline.
Focal themes of IAPh 2020 will be economy, technology, ecology, and the history of philosophy.
