Professor Emma Borg (Reading)
Professor Jennifer Saul (Sheffield)
Dr John Collins (UEA)
Dr David Liggins (Manchester)
Hurrah! A nice organising job by Graham Stevens.
sweet line-up. funny how it almost makes phil of language seem appealing…
My goodness. Who organized it?
Sorry– should have said, will fix.
omigod, a male philosopher organized it!?!
Actually, it looks great. I envy those who can go.
I don’t know whether Graham made a deliberate effort to have women philosophers. But I do know that I gave him a choice of a mainstream paper or a feminist one, and he chose the feminist one.
Male philosophers have done this sort of thing before. See, for example the Metaphysics conference linked to in the post.
I let Graham know about this post. His response: “That’s nice! Although the praise does seem to me a bit undeserved – it’s the sort of thing one should be criticized for failing to do, rather than praised for doing.”
Thanks, Jenny, for relaying the comment. I disagree that it’s undeserved. When few people get the obvious, those that do are displaying something worthwhile.
