International Conference - Lost Voices: Women Philosophers and Scientists from Traditions Around the World
The Fall Forum on Lost Voices: Women Philosophers and Scientists from Traditions Around the World is free and open to faculty members in all disciplines and will take place on October 11th, 2024 from 9 am-5 pm in Adanti 301.
World-renowned scholars will discuss some of history's lesser-known and non-canonical thinkers, including social and political conditions that prevented their ideas from being recognized, and ideas for diversifying contemporary curricula to include non-canonical and non-Western sources.
The Forum is co-sponsored by SCSU Faculty Development, The SCSU Department of Philosophy, The Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists (Paderborn, Germany), and The Research Center for Women in Philosophy Croatia.
Fall School
In addition to the Fall Forum, students can participate in the Fall School with events taking place during the course of the conference.
The school is part of an ongoing collaboration between Professor Chelsea Harry and the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists (Paderborn, Germany), and The Research Center for Women in Philosophy Croatia, where previous schools have been held.
Participants at the school will have an opportunity to attend the one-day international fall forum. We are proud to say that our own Nina Dudley will be speaking on women in indigenous philosophies at the conference, alongside six renowned scholars.
Participation in the Fall School is free and open to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in all disciplines. Students will have an opportunity to present a poster on a woman in philosophy via Zoom on October 10th and in person at a poster exhibition on campus on October 11th.
