The ethics of care is a newer development in the h

The ethics of care is a newer development in the history of ethics, and grew out of a dissatisfaction with the prevailing modes of ethical theory: Kantianism and Consequentialism. In the essay just posted in our Journal, Zachary Bliss provides us with a brief overview of these traditions.To draw out the distinctive proposals of the ethics of care, he focuses on five primary ways the ethics of care attempts to differentiate itself from both Kantianism and Consequentialism. At the end, Zachary homes in on the distinction between caring-about and caring-for, which, according to him, is a centerpiece of the ethics of care.Zack holds a M.A. in Philosophical and Moral Theology. He is currently in the process of applying to doctoral programs in Philosophy; focusing his research on moral psychology, normative and applied ethics, and philosophical psychology and psychiatry.Read Zack's full essay in our journal.

Artemisia Gentileschi is one of the great figures

Artemisia Gentileschi is one of the great figures in the struggle against prejudice in the world of arts. After hundreds of years of erasure, she finally had her work catalogued and evaluated by the Italian art historian Roberto Longhi, who claims that Artemisia was one of the "great masters" of the 17th century. Many of her works are focused on female imagery, bringing out a number of emotional states such as revenge, pride, determination, passion, to name a few. The work we chose to highlight is called Judith and her servant and portrays Judith holding a dagger and her servant carrying a man's head.How many women will still be historically left out just because they are out of line with the gender role assigned to them? How many other talents do we not yet know as a result of gender prejudice? These are questions we should reflect on as we struggle with the structure behind these erasures.#artemisiagentileschi #womeninart #womenartists #historyofart #feminism #feministart #gendertalks

Ecofeminism is a part of the feminist movement tha

Ecofeminism is a part of the feminist movement that places at its centre of analysis and practice the relations between gender and the environment, as the “intimate link between women and nature is manifest in concrete reality.” (1)The term ecofeminism appears for the first time in history from the writings of Françoise d'Eaubonne, a French writer who problematized toxic masculinity and encouraged environmental activism as a way of combating gender inequality and the oppressions + dominations of nature.Today, ecofeminism has several divisions, depending on the perspective of analysis that departs, and may be more practical (activism-oriented) or theoretical (grounded in the ideas behind the practices).“Although Ecofeminism may appear to be a movement of feminists who also care about the planet, it is much more than that. Feminism, or Liberal Feminism as it is known in International Relations theory, strives for gender equality and environmental preservation within the framework of a pre-existing patriarchal system. Ecofeminism, on the other hand, aims to dismantle this system and completely rebuild it with the foundation that all living things have value, worth, and different qualities that make them vulnerable. Instead of striving to make women equal in a man's world or to prioritize the environment in a society that values consistent and extreme development, Ecofeminism highlights what a new world order would look like with man and woman, human and planet, all respected and contributing on an even playing field.” (2)To know more:

The silence that comes before the words. We need t

The silence that comes before the words. We need time to process our emotions and settle within our human structure the atrocities committed against Black people. And then listen, debate, engage and take action! The struggle against racial injustice does not stop, it goes on and becomes stronger. This is Bayreuth, Germany on 10 July. Its centre, shaped by Nazi history, is now occupied in protest, pain and solidarity for structural social justice.
The silence was led by Tanu Biswas. Here, her full speech: "Thank you all for coming. Putting up this event under harsh circumstances over the last week has not been easy. But we made it out into the open. Into the heart of the city of Bayreuth. We stand here in a historical location. This is not a big place like Berlin, Frankfurt or Munich. It is a small place, with large issues. Issues for which we share a sense of responsibility.We made it out into the open. We are not out here despite the weather. We are here despite structural racist violence which we experience and witness from different positions, but which in many places has been a particularly violent and lethal experience for our Black brothers and sisters.We are here despite the structural racist violence which is so scary. But grief and sense of responsibility can override fears. Our grief and sense of responsibility strengthens awareness of our deep interdependence.
We are grieving and mourning, out in the open. Together. In the heart of this city.
We grieve structural racist violence in solidarity.
Starting with silence today is to enable progress of the critical conversations and hear the diverse voices that will follow. It is a silence that precedes words. There will be an open mic after the silence and we will continue much needed critical conversations in the second half of this event online. But silence is a powerful companion, when one needs to raise their voice high. Silence is vital to process emotions and thoughts.” Pics: #adrianinfernus / adrianinfernus.de

In her interview, Brianna Toole discusses how our social identity impacts the production of knowledge.
She says:
There are several means by which we come to have knowledge – via testimony (when my teacher testifies that Abraham Lincoln was the 16th US president, I come to have knowledge via her testimony); memory (I remember that I gave my husband the car keys this morning, so I know that he has the car keys because I remember having given them to him); inference (I know that my boss only brings his umbrella to work when it’s raining and he has his umbrella today at work, so I know by inference that it is raining); and via perception (I see my student in my office, so I know that there is a student in my office because I have perceived this). But what we see, whose testimony we take seriously, what we remember (collectively), what inferences we feel are licensed by our evidence, might all depend on our social identity. And if the ways we gather knowledge are impacted by our social identity, then the very knowledge we have might be the product of our social identity, as well.Read Briana's full interview by checking out our Journal (link in our bio). #gendertalks #genderjustice #socialjustice #identity #socialidentity #philosophy #feminism #socialidentity #feministtheory #genderstudies #corrupttheyouth #knowledge #epistemicinjustice #politics #diversitymatters #oppression #feministquotes #raceandgender
