For a Special Issue of Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy

FEAST: Current Work in Feminist Ethics and Social Theory

 

Edited by Diana Tietjens Meyers

 

This call is for the first of two FEAST special issues to be hosted by
Hypatia.  This issue will appear in January-March 2010.  

 

In keeping with the FEAST sponsorship, the broad theme of this issue is
feminist ethics and social thought, and all FEAST members are invited to
submit their work.  At the 2007 conference, we had a wonderful array of
theoretical and applied papers.  Conference themes included the following:

 




.                     virtue ethics

.                     care ethics

.                     responsibility

.                     violence and bigotry

.                     testimony and story-telling

.                     justice and ethics in interpersonal relationships

.                     international justice and human rights

.                     terrorism and national security

.                     stem cell research 

.                     sex, gender, power, and solidarity

.                     Beauvoir and Arendt

 

Throughout the conference and in diverse ways, speakers underscored the
relations between theory and social processes and between power, experience,
and moral philosophy.  I would like this special issue to mirror the scope,
as well as the depth, of what FEAST members are contributing to philosophy.
The themes I have listed illustrate the range of conference papers.
Submissions on other topics in feminist ethics and social thought are
welcome.
