*SWIP Ireland: Ann Cahill Workshop, 7th February, NUI Merrion Square. Dublin* The Society for Women in Philosophy Ireland invites you to a workshop with Prof. Ann Cahill (Professor of Philosophy, Elon University). Prof. Cahill's work is situated at the intersection of feminist philosophy and philosophy of the body, where she develops new analyses of common concepts, such as sexual violence or objectification.

I will respond to the work of Nicola Gavey, who has argued for the existence of a “gray area” of sexual interactions that are ethically questionable without rising to the category of sexual assault, but whose analysis did not explicitly articulate what these two categories share or what distinguishes them from each other. I will argue that the two categories share a disregard for women’s sexual subjectivity (focusing particularly on the factor of sexual desire) and are distinguished by the different role that women’s sexual agency plays in each. * All welcome! -- Dr. Clara Fischer Teaching & Research Fellow, UCD School of Philosophy Research Associate, UCD Women's Studies Communications Officer, SWIP Ireland <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__swip-2Direland.com_&d=CwIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=Oo4TCJF8pXcsWPDC7Sy8bdP2IJ6ZbST0v2xdYtuNH80&m=tIdPgl6KJtNySC-iSkaAg5O_C8mIc1z30l1RX7Kqft0&s=XEJJOmO25GA4k96kfOdMG3StQNFUGjKPA28wb7BwNOY&e= > ############################ To unsubscribe from the FEAST-L list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://listserv.jmu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=FEAST-L&A=1
