Subject: Re: Claudia Card Obituary Celebration of Life, Madison Oct 11
############################Re my suggestion that the APA might want to honor Claudia with a scholarship ----Ann Garry has kindly reminded me of the substantial early work of Sarah Hoagland and Marilyn Frye. I certainly meant no slights and should remember, of course, that the order in which I originally read things isn't always the order in which they appeared. My apologies to Sarah and Marilyn to whom we all owe so much.All best,Joan
Sent from my iPhoneI wonder if the APA might set up a scholarship in Claudia's name. She was, after all, not only among the earliest feminist philosophers -- as far as I recall she really was the first scholar to do substantial work in lesbian philosophy, and the APA might be interested in acknowledging that. That said, I don't, of course, have any objection to one (or more) feminist philosophy associations establish a scholarship more broadly in feminist philosophy.Just a thought.JoanOn Fri, Sep 18, 2015 at 9:35 AM, Judith Poxon <[log in to unmask]> wrote:From: msimons <[log in to unmask]>
Has UW-M or the Society for
Analytic Feminism or SWIP set up a
scholarship in Claudia's honor? It's so
hard to let her go.
