organization dedicated to promoting feminist ethical perspectives on
philosophy, moral and political life, and public policy.*

*Through meetings, publications, and projects, we hope to increase the
visibility and influence of feminist ethics, as well as feminist social and
political theory, and to provide support to emerging scholars from diverse
and underrepresented populations.*

*Our aim is to further the development and refinement of new understandings
of ethical and political concepts and topics, especially as these arise out
of feminist concerns.*
