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!

Feminist Reading Group 

Next to the lecture series „Women in Philosophy“ is constituted by the „Feminist Reading Group“. The regular meetings throughout the semester focus on all topics concerning gender. They are a room for open discussion about gender inequality and social grievances, working with contemporary literature addressing these problems but also referring to feminist classics.

Topics covered so far in the Feminist Reading Group:
  • "Entitled" by Kate Manne - How male privilege hurts women
  • "Das andere Geschlecht" by Simone de Beauvoir - What does it mean to be a woman?
  • Radical and moderate philosophical views of pornography 
  • Miranda Fricker on hermeneutical injustice
