Dear FEAST People:

[I posted this to the SWIP list last week, but in case any of you are not on it...]

I list below sessions at the upcoming Central APA meeting that feminist philosophers will especially want to note.  The meeting will be held Feb 17-20 at the Palmer House Hotel, Chicago.  The hotel website is>

http://www.hilton.com/en/hi/groups/personalized/CHIPHHH-AMP-20100216/index.jhtml

The sessions (both Main Program and Group sessions) are listed below by time slot, from Thurs morning to Sat afternoon.  Those with specific interests in feminist epistemology and related areas in social epistemology and virtue epistemology will note quite a few sessions in these areas.  (Also, Ernest Sosa will deliver the 3 Carus lectures on epistemology.)

For other sessions, check out the full program at the APA website>
