“How is this conference philosophy?”: Women of Color and Philosophy
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Mariana Ortega (John Carroll University)
Faculty Roundtable: Dr. Kristie Dotson, Dr. Xhercis Mendez, and Dr. Elena Ruíz
Building on Dr. Dotson’s paper, we hope to host a conference that celebrates and complicates the relationships between women of color and philosophy. We are interested in work of women of color in and out of professional philosophy and on the status of women of color in philosophy. We encourage contributions that are working with feminist, critical race, decolonial, transnational, disability, queer, trans, and Indigenous theories.
