Feminist Philosophy

Authors

  • Kristin Rodier University of Alberta

Abstract

This is a wide-ranging 200-level survey course that touches on the important contemporary debates in feminist philosophy. This course is not historically complete or exhaustive of the present field, though it gives a conceptual topography of feminist philosophy useful for students moving forward in philosophy and women’s studies. The course is structured to give students adequate practice and familiarity with feminist critique so they can write a constructive essay of feminist philosophy as their term paper.

Author Biography

Kristin Rodier, University of Alberta

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Alberta in the Department of Philosophy under the supervision of Dr. Cressida J. Heyes.

My main area of research is on the connection between freedom and embodiment — specifically on habit, how to change habits, how habits constitute our selves, and different ways of having habits especially habits of gender. My interests include but are not limited to aesthetics, ethics, political philosophy, literature, French philosophy, feminism, postmodern philosophy, psychoanalysis, modern and late modern philosophy, existentialism, and phenomenology.
