Feminist Philosophers

News feminist philosophers can use

About May 15, 2007

Jender @ 3:06 pm

Feminist philosophy, more than most areas of philosophy, needs to be informed by real-world information and examples. One of our goals is to help feminist philosophers keep up with philosophically relevant facts and examples. Of course, there’s far more than we could ever hope to cover, but at least this is a start. By using ‘categories’, one can easily find useful examples for teaching and research. We’re also hoping that feminists who aren’t philosophers may find some philosophical reflections and references helpful and interesting. And, sometimes, we’ll just post things that are good for a laugh. Because we all need that. Do let us know if you think there’s something we should be covering that we’re not, by clicking on the ‘contact’ category. We’ll see what we can do.

  2. Ampersand Says:

    Cool! I’m really looking forward to reading this blog.

    And, as Belledame said, welcome!

  3. Ampersand Says:

    I hope you won’t mind me making a suggestion. Many blog readers use RSS feeds - especially other bloggers, who often read many dozens of blogs and thus find RSS an especially convenient way to read blogs.

    So you’ll have more readers, and be more likely to be linked to by other blogs, if you provide full posts in your RSS feed rather than just the first sentence or two.

    If you’d like to provide full posts to your RSS readers, in the admin menu go to “options” –> “reading” –> and then select “full text” under “syndication feeds.”

    How do I make myself a cute little icon? I’m tired of looking so anonymous….?? Inquiring minds want to know.

  14. Jender Says:

    I think you can do it by just getting a wordpress account. It’s free and very quick.

  15. JJ Says:

    May I add that you’ll need, of course, to add the icon once you’ve gotten your page. That’s done by clicking on a generic icon on the left part of the page, top third. Uploading is easy, a lot like flickr.

    They generously offer to resize the icon. I’d turn them down. At least, when I accepted the offer, the icon vanished. Too irritating.

    im doing a research project.. and i need to know the city of publication. thank you!

  17. Jender Says:

    Tough question– we (the bloggers) are actually all over the world (3 continents), and I don’t know where wordpress is is– I guess they’re the publishers. But I think for this reason there are different conventions for citing works on the internet, and you didn’t need place of publication. There must be someplace you can find this out!

  18. jen Says:

    well im a high school senior, doing a research on my debate. due to my topic, “if gays and lesbians should be allowed to join armed forces?”, i found a little writing about it.. and i the city or place of publication for my citing. but if its not possible to give me an exact place, its okay!

    Hi-
    We are writing to tell you about Sadie Magazine, a new online magazine we recently founded for teen and twenty-something year old girls—”where feminism meets art meets grrrls.” You can view the mag at: http://www.sadiemagazine.com.

    Maybe right now you’re thinking, that sounds cool, but why are you writing me? We’re writing you because we hope you will want to be our friend or affiliate. We’re not asking for much—not money, or ads—just a little favor…here are some suggestions:

    Maybe you have a links page and you would like to add us,

    Or you could tell all your friends about us,

    And your little sister (and all of her friends!),

    Or perhaps you would like to be a contributor for a future issue,

    Or maybe you’ll want to write about us for your own organization or magazine,

    Or maybe you just want to read our magazine…

    In whatever way works best for you, we’re really just asking that you check us out! And please do help spread the word—in order to get our message across, we would like to reach as many rad ladies, grrrls, and aspiring-to-be-fabulous-women as possible.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this email. Please let us know if you have any questions, or would like further information. We hope to hook up with you in one way or another!

    xo Jesse, Josie & Susannah/Sadie Magazine
