The workshop serves as a key project of Women Doing Philosophy (WDP), a global feminist organization of Filipina philosophers created in June 2020. The mission of WDP is to create and claim spaces that promote the scholarly, professional, and personal flourishing of Filipino women philosophers. The organization hopes to help diversify and transform the philosophical landscape—a landscape where women of color from the Global South today remain excluded and underprivileged—through the scholarly and activist contributions of its members.
This four-day workshop will be held from May 27 to 30, 2023 at the University of the Philippines Los-Baños Philosophy Division. Scroll through the compilation of posters to learn more about the conference, including the call for commentators!
