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.
