Our program today consists of a diverse group of presenters. We have BA, MA and PhD students, Dutch people and non-Dutch people, and topics ranging all across the philosophical spectrum. But of course there is one thing that unites them: they are all women.
We hope that with this program, we will be able to empower women in philosophy, and contribute to an awareness of the urgency of ameliorating women’s representation in academic philosophy.
