Lorraine Code: Thinking Responsibly, Thinking Ecologically
(Preliminary Title)
Edited by Nancy Arden McHugh and Andrea Doucet
Under Consideration with
State University of New York Press
Since the publication of her book Epistemic Responsibility in 1987, feminist philosopher Lorraine Code has been at the forefront of linking epistemology, epistemic injustice and ethics to shape critical frameworks for responsible, situated knowing and practice. Her work has been path breaking on many themes, issues and problematics, including:
• epistemic virtues,
• individual and institutional epistemic responsibilities,
• the epistemic significance of the gender of the knower,
• the politics of epistemic and physical locations,
• critical epistemic frameworks, such as ecological thinking,
• the epistemic salience of gossip,
• subjectivities and narratives,
• the politics of testimony,
• feminist methodologies and epistemic practices,
• human and non human entanglements,
• relational ontologies
On all of these issues, Code’s work has provided a gateway for subsequent work in feminist epistemology and philosophy of science, as well as more generally in feminist theory and methodologies. Moreover, through her critical analysis of mainstream epistemologies, medicine, law, literature, politics, psychology, and ecology, Code also provides avenues for creating institutional and social change.
We invite abstract submissions of 500-750 words that engage with the work of Lorraine Code by utilizing and building upon her theoretical, epistemological, and methodological arguments developed over the course of her writing and research career and/or by applying her arguments to new frameworks, cases, or problems. Please note that although Lorraine Code’s work has been housed in philosophy, her approach is highly interdisciplinary. Thus, abstracts are welcome from an array of disciplines and approaches.
