Gender, Race, and Sexuality (GRS)

In this new edition of the GRS group for 2011/12, we will continue discussing papers on issues in connection with gender, race, and sexuality, with special attention to methodological considerations in "applied" (analytic) philosophy.

 

We meet every week during the core months of the second term (on Wednesdays, 12:00-13:30). Provisional list of sessions below (changes may occur).
