Contextualist Approaches to the Metaphysics of Gender
Internationale Konferenz mit Matthew Cull (University of Sheffield), Niklas Ernst (LMU Munich), Esa Díaz-León (University of Barcelona), Annina Loets (University of Oxford), Sally Haslanger (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Romy Jaster (Humboldt University) und Rory Wilson (University of Sheffield).
From June 15 to June 16, the student initiative feminist philosophy at Humboldt University in Berlin organises a conference concerning the question of contextualist approaches to the metaphysics of gender.
The conference aims to bridge topics of contextualism to the metaphysics of gender. Therefore, speakers situated in either of the two or both debates will share their insights and have an open discussion about the topics. All in all, there will be seven speakers with brief input talks as well as extended room for discussions, workshops and open plenary discussions.
Attendance at the conference is free and you do not have to register for attending. If you plan to attend the conference but do not have a place to stay in Berlin, feel free to contact us via femphilag@hu-berlin.de and we will do our best to organise a room for you!
