HYPATIA TURNS TWENTY-FIVE!

Announcing a Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Conference and Special Issue:
Feminist Legacies / Feminist Futures

Hypatia has been published as an independent journal of feminist  
philosophy since 1986; Volume 25 will appear in 2010. To mark this  
significant anniversary—to celebrate the accomplishments of Hypatia,  
its founders, editors, and contributors, and to consider where  
feminist philosophy is headed in the next twenty-five years—the  
current editors will host a Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Conference at  
the University of Washington in the Fall of 2009 (October 22-24), and  
the final issue of Volume 25 (Fall 2010) will be designated a Special  
Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Issue.

Submissions are welcome, for both the conference and the Special  
Issue, on any topic in feminist philosophy addressed by contributors  
to Hypatia in its publication history. We encourage a forward-looking  
focus that draws on retrospective assessment to envision future  
directions: what issues are emerging, what lines of inquiry are  
taking shape, what questions need attention, given the trajectory of  
feminist philosophy evident in the articles, reviews, symposia and  
special issues published by Hypatia since the mid-1980s? You might,  
for example:
- identify a paper or debate published by Hypatia that especially  
influenced you (positively or negatively) and assess the implications  
of its insights, its lacunae, its implications for future directions  
in feminist philosophy;
- if you are a Hypatia author, return to a paper you published in the  
journal and assess how thinking in this area has changed, what new  
directions are taking shape;
- consider how, and why, some topics that were prominent in early  
issues of Hypatia have continued to set the agenda for feminist  
philosophy while others have been reframed or set aside: how has work  
on these topics evolved and where it can be expected to go in the  
future?
