Digitizing “Feminist Philosophers: In Their Own Words”

Abstract:

Feminist Philosophers: In Their Own Words began as a grant from the American Philosophical Association to the Rock Ethics Institute to support the work of Nancy Tuana and Joan Callahan. The videos were designed to provide educators and scholars with in-depth, digitally filmed interviews with many of the scholars who generated and initially sustained feminist philosophy in North America. The interviews provide an excellent introduction to the philosophical approaches of these theorists, as well as assisting scholars in understanding the ways n which social movements such as civil rights, anti-war, and women’s movements of the 1060s and 1070s influenced academic scholarship.
