Copenhagen Summer School in Women’s History of Philosophy
Place: Copenhagen
The Summer School on Women’s History of Philosophy is a new initiative organized by The Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Women in the History of Philosophy (INSPIRE). The summer school is co-funded by the PhD School at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen.
The Summer School on Women’s History of Philosophy offers an in-depth exploration of the contributions of women philosophers primarily from Early Modern Europe. While the first wave of feminism erupted in the middle of the 19th century, the main concerns behind it were already central in earlier stages of European philosophy. Through a series of keynote lectures, seminars, field trips, and collaborative discussions, participants will engage with primary texts and critically reassess the philosophical canon across Europe in order to better understand the intricacies of what is commonly known as the querelle des femmes.
