Lecture Series Women in Philosophy Bayreuth

Women are underrepresented in philosophy. The aim of this lecture series is to promote the visibility of women philosophers and celebrate their contribution to the discipline. The lectures also create a friendly space for the public discussion of gender inequality. 

This lecture series is being funded thanks to the support of the Stabsabteilung Chancengleichheit of the University of Bayreuth.

Organisation: Prof. Dr. Alice Pinheiro Walla

The lectures will be held either in English or German and are open to everyone to attend. Join us in the discussion!
