DESCRIPTION
This year’s symposium, “Margins of Phenomenology,” will bring together scholars who wield phenomenology in order to push the boundaries of the field — both in terms of the topics that are the objects of phenomenological research, as well as the figures that are included in the phenomenological canon. We aim to bring attention to marginalized figures in the history of phenomenology, especially women in the early phenomenological period, as well as resources in phenomenology that bear on ongoing debates in the philosophy of race, philosophy of gender, feminist philosophy, queer philosophy, and post-colonial philosophy.
