Philosophy

Description:

Examines the philosophical tradition in light of questions such as who is empowered by that tradition and whether philosophy is itself a site for the reproduction of sexist, racist, and anti-LGBTQ dispositions.

Seeks to compare and contrast feminist theories concerning contemporary debates over issues such as abortion, the wage gap, and sexual violence.
