A request for suggestions of women doing relevant scholarship:
I am planning a conference on Paul Feyerabend’s philosophy in Sept 2012 at the Humboldt-University zu Berlin, Germany. A call for papers will be issued early next year. Unfortunately… Some 16 confirmed invited speakers, all men. My question is, do you have any concrete suggestions, or contacts who might?
Feel free to self-promote, although if you are uncomfortable with doing so, you’re welcome to contact us at the “Contact” link.

What’s the angle and how broad are you going with this? If you’re willing to go a bit interdisciplinary and invite “science studies” folks who are also knowledgeable about philosophy, Evelyn Fox Keller and Sandra Harding are the first names to come to mind.
Elizabeth Lloyd — isn’t she at Indiana? She contributed to a Feyerabend anthology back in the day.
Whoops, Elisabeth Lloyd (should’ve googled for her name before mis-spelling it).
Hanne Andersen (http://pure.au.dk/portal/en/hanne.andersen@ivs.au.dk) has done work on Kuhn and scientific revolutions, though I do not know whether she has worked on Feyerabend.
If you want a sociologist who takes more of a social constructivist view of science than philosophers would, Karin Knorr-Cetina (http://www.soziologie.uni-konstanz.de/knorrcetina, http://newfaculty.uchicago.edu/ssd/knorr.shtml) is a good option.
I think this will be a particularly tough one without broadening the scope a bit.
You might reach out to Monika Kirloskar-Steinbach (Konstanz University).
Helen Longino has discussed Feyerabend some in her work, though I don’t know if she’d consider her work close enough to fit the conference. She might be worth considering,though.
You might ask Sarah Roe (UC Davis)
Catherine Elgin at Harvard.
Juliet Floyd, Boston U. Published an excellent paper on Feyerabend a few years ago:
“Homage to Vienna: Feyerabend on Wittgenstein (and Austin and Quine)”, in K.R.Fischer & F.Stadler (eds.), Paul Feyerabend (1924 – 1994) – Ein Philosoph aus Wien, Springer Verlag.
Nancy Nersessian.
Thanks so very much, all. I’ve passed your comments along to the conference organizer. You made a difference!
Is the call for papers for this conference out? I tried to find it on google, but wasn’t able to. Would you mind posting it here if and when it is out?
