As others have already expressed, I feel privileged to have known and been deeply influenced by Maria. If no one has yet shared this (I can't remember whether FEAST-L is moderated), Lewis Gordon wrote a very long tribute to Maria and her work.

FYI, both Hypatia and Critical Philosophy of Race are publishing special issues in 2020 that grew from the conference "Toward Decolonial Feminism" that was inspired by Maria's work and organized by Nancy Tuana and Emma Velez. They edited the special issues too.

I agree with you, Elise - her work has affected both me and my students throughout my career. Sad news.

Dear FEAST community,

Sarah’s news lands with such gravity. To María Lugones I owe both some early inspirations (Midwest-SWIP in the 90s) and a continuing stream of experiences with students who have been ENERGIZED by her imagination, her curiosity, and her complexity. Few other philosophers were on almost every student’s “readings I will carry with me” list...

I am eager to hear from those who worked more closely with her. But seeing this news, I must somehow honor her.
