Text of the page (random words):
thing replied to all i engaged gradually not publishing very regularly until a couple of years in i entered those vast and earnest oceans of conversation effort didn t always translate into success but the correspondence of the women and men who blogged here was an honor to witness they demonstrated courage when i was hesitant to be so public they demonstrated receptivity to each other s points of view when i was still sorting out what i thought and they kept working raising to awareness topics that might otherwise be overlooked the overlooked can easily include the passing of feminist philosophers i started volunteering to write our obituaries more often jean harvey sara ruddick claudia card sandy bartky so soon after claudia vicky davion who was just nine years older than me my write ups fell into a pattern we report with sadness we are sad to report i think it s right to wind this blog down many of us are doing so much elsewhere and doing less here i agree with jenny saul and audrey yap that the internet has changed so much that a lot of the purposes this blog used to serve are served well in other places public discourse is different now but i find with some surprise that i regret the shutdown means ceasing these recognitions of lost feminists i don t know if there is a better place to pause and say to those willing to attend that a feminist philosopher has died that she gave us her time and labor that she was courageous that she was receptive that she kept working and of course those are just the tenured well published individuals that we notice feminist goals and philosophical aims are realized by prominent individuals sometimes but far more often require the work of unknown and countless people in solitary and collective unrecognized effort i realize that s how most of the work of life gets done individually we each need some recognition some acknowledgement that we re here if only to continue broad based struggles the nicest thing about joining a blog called feminist philosophers was that its very title said with some presumption but with puckish impunity that we re here and that we are numerous a blog asserting the presence of feminist philosophers is a declaration of our existence and our commenters and contributors pushed us to more and better forms of recognition readers have taught me to pay attention more deliberately even to differences especially to differences i notice you feminist philosophers who pour invisible hours into efforts i bet that you are giving wherever you are i hope you take vacations i appreciate some fraction of how much you ve done i know you keep working take turns and take breaks be courageous be receptive recognize each other we support with gladness we are glad to support thanks jenny these are a few of my favourite posts april 26 2019 heg 1 comment as we announced april 23 feminist philosophers is shutting down this is one of a series of posts by fp bloggers looking back on the blog and bidding it farewell i ve never been a very active blogger here but i m a very grateful one and so inspired by prof manners wonderful post in praise of ceremonial gratitude i m going to demonstrate my gratitude by sharing a few of my favourite posts all of these have made me think some have made me smile and others which is the greatest compliment of all have changed my mind more than anything the whole blog has changed my mind about an academic field which i left 15 years ago feeling pretty despondent i m busy doing other things now but i m so happy the field i still love is in better hands call out culture the case of ableist language the ethics of public shaming cochlear implants viral videos and sexism what s wrong with dying thoughts from an assault survivor in philosophy social construction and gender identity perfect recipe for sustaining the patriarchy compliments of god how to discuss searle etc doing public philosophy april 25 2019 april 25 2019 audrey 4 comments as we announced april 23 feminist philosophers is shutting down this is one of a series of posts by fp bloggers looking back on the blog and bidding it farewell i joined feminist philosophers in july 2015 after having written a pair of guest posts at digressions impressions that received some attention both positive and negative that was one of my first forays into public philosophy here are part i and part ii of that piece and my reaction to its reception by some senior men in philosophy can be found here rereading those things what i find striking is that my immediate response was to frame matters in terms of unproductive adversariality as per janice moulton s critique of the adversary method in philosophy for those unfamiliar with that work it s not the same as a call for civility which i don t particularly have a lot of faith in either but it is a criticism of our tendency in philosophy to treat discussions automatically as debates that can and ought to be won my training is in analytic philosophy and in particular in the history and philosophy of mathematics i was hired as our department s logician and i still teach a regular slate of logic courses but at the time i started on at this blog i was still making the transition over to thinking of feminist philosophy as my primary research area which it certainly is now the way i was doing it at the time was through feminist perspectives on informal logic and argumentation theory i have been extremely grateful for feminist philosophy feminist philosophers and feminist philosophers for helping me develop as a professional philosopher though i have not been at all prolific here the connection to the larger community of feminist scholarship has helped me feel as though there is a place in philosophy for someone like me though i still love logic and the philosophy of mathematics it was never a field that felt like home being part of this blogging community helped me to think through what a field that felt like home might be these days a lot of my work is centred on issues around gendered violence and the fp post that i still think about was an attempt to work through some thoughts that didn t yet have a more formal venue many of the things that i wrote in a post called me too but what about you were also part of a paper that came out the same year in feminist philosophy quarterly but that fpq paper was still framed in terms of how we from the outside might view perpetrators of gendered violence what i think about these days has more to do with how we as ordinary people are ourselves contributing to violence and upholding oppression it is really not that hard for us to hurt each other and we need to come to terms with that without falling into either quietism or unproductive guilt i don t have another regular public venue in which i write down my thoughts and i have become a bit more pessimistic about blogging as a general way for me to bring about change that s not to say we shouldn t do it i was very happy to have written this piece for the apa blog relatively recently for instance but at the moment it doesn t feel like something i can do effectively or on a regular basis i think that activism requires a division of labour and the work that i feel best about these days are smaller scale public philosophy is important and i do think it s incumbent on those of us who are relatively privileged to keep working to make the world better in whatever ways we can but that work can take a lot of different forms it can take the work of public writing but it can also take the shape of working in our communities and campuses or of supporting and amplifying the voices of others who need to be heard in the meantime i m grateful to the feminist philosophers community for giving me the opportunity to contribute in whatever ways i have and i wish us all the best as we each work out the ways in which we are best suited to resist oppression here at feminist philosophers april 24 2019 april 24 2019 lady day 5 comments as we announced april 23 feminist philosophers is shutting down this is one of a series of posts by fp bloggers looking back on the blog and bidding it farewell i began my first ever post for feminist philosophers on june 4 2012 with the following words here at feminist philosophers we love it doesn t matter how that sentence ends what s striking to me about it now is that in my very first post for a blog that had by then already existed for five years and had already received about four million site views not a spitball i just looked it up i was cocky enough to make myself perfectly at home in this way some of that was no doubt due to my own bravado but i think that a larger reason why i acted at home in my first feminist philosophers post is that by then for me as for countless other women philosophers the blog really did feel like home this is no mean feat in a discipline that often feels anything but hospitable to women for many women philosophers who felt isolated not only in the discipline but in their home departments feminist philosophers was a crucial lifeline it helped us to feel part of a scholarly community but it also helped to change the community in big and small ways the blog shared advice data and analysis called out male only conferences and fostered much needed conversations about such topics as implicit bias stereotype threat micro inequities and sexism in academe you can get a sense of the scope of the topics by taking a look at the first page of the blog s drop down menu of categories available for each post a glimpse of some of the categories available to feminist philosophers bloggers the blog also celebrated the work of feminist philosophers and supported feminist philosophers when they were down a case in point a couple of months before i joined the blog a conservative pundit compared me unfavorably to stalin feminist philosophers poked gentle fun at the comparison which helped me to feel like i was sharing a chuckle with savvy women colleagues rather than just being freaked out that somebody hated me enough to write about me as the pundit had as well many readers wrote to the blog for various kinds of confidential advice and support during tough times support that they very often received behind the scenes thanks to the wisdom discretion and generosity of some of fp s senior bloggers i have been the beneficiary of the improvements in the discipline wrought by feminist philosophers to a much greater extent than i have been a contributor to those changes i joined five years in and having only authored 93 posts i am one of the blog s less frequent posters ugh if only i had counted my contributions before today i could have contrived to go out on my hundredth post alas 94 this post will be my last still i have been enormously proud to play a tiny part in a blog that has served the discipline so well while here i learned a lot more about the contours of the discipline i cut my teeth on public scholarship and i wrote some posts that i m proud of i think that the post i m proudest of writing for feminist philosophers was one in which i as a canadian woman worked through some of the legal issues that were exposed by the acquittal for sexual assault of notorious canadian broadcaster jian ghomeshi here s a link i don t know whether the post was much better than others i wrote but i do know that other women told me afterwards that they found it a helpful perspective at a difficult time if we philosophers can occasionally offer a helpful perspective at a difficult time then that is not a bad thing at all these days most of my public philosophy contributions occur in the realm of academic freedom and campus free expression speech issues if you d like to read some of that work then check out my dispatches on academic freedom column for university affairs to the creators of feminist philosophers thank you for all you have done to make philosophy a place where more of us feel at home and thank you for letting me play a small part i was honoured to join the team and i am grateful to be able to
