Feminist Philosophy Reading Group- Socialism and Feminism

Thursday February 27, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

In theme with the ongoing UCU strikes, for the next Feminist Philosophy Reading Group we will be discussing the relationship between feminism and socialism!

We will be reading Ann Ferguson’s entry on Socialism in the Blackwell Companion to Feminist Philosophy and you can access the paper here(with your uni login): https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/9781405164498.ch52 . It’s a nice short paper (9 pages) which gives an overview of the literature on the relationship between feminism and socialism.

We will upload a précis (a small cheat sheet, with terms and notions to understand the main arguments) to help read the text the week prior to the meeting. The précis will be available on one drive, accessible with your St Andrews ID: https://universityofstandrews907-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/laj7_st-andrews_ac_uk/EgiK4kR-fvxOvrZDkXBhYhwBYtekAjNXaOU8WbZYBHK0ug?e=RWkiZD

Everyone is welcome: undergrad students, masters, PhDs, staff members, philosophers and non-philosophers alike. The goal is to discuss feminist philosophy in a stimulating and accessible environment.

If you’d like to be added to the mailing list, or have any questions, you can email us at [email protected]. We also welcome your proposals for upcoming instalments, as the reading group will run bi-weekly (at least we will try) this semester. If you would like to propose a reading for the group then send us an email with your idea as soon as possible.

We look forward to seeing you!
