29 - 30 August 2025, Workshop on Feminist Logic

Date: 29 - 30 August 2025
Location: Ruhr University Bochum, Germany
Deadline: Sunday 18 May 2025

Feminist Logic is a relatively new but upcoming area of study. Work in this field sheds light on sexist (and other) biases in the area of logic. This is a very broad conception but it captures the diversity of the area of Feminist Logic. More specifically, Feminist Logic can mean to use logical tools for feminist ends; to look at the history of logic from a feminist perspective; to consider teaching practices in logic and how those disadvantage certain underrepresented groups, to devise, revise and/or argue for logical systems from a distinctly feminist perspective. This workshop aims at sharing and discussing the latest research in this area by bringing together both highly distinguished as well as early career researchers.

List of speakers: Sara Ayhan (Ruhr University Bochum), Roy T. Cook (University of Minnesota), Maureen Eckert (UMass Dartmouth), Viviane Fairbank (University of St Andrews), Becca Kosten (University of Minnesota), Franci Mangraviti (University of Padova), Gillian Russell (Australian National University), Sara L. Uckelman (Durham University).

Next to the speakers’ presentations a discussion session is planned including short presentations (5-10 mins) focused on exploring open problems and potential research directions in Feminist Logic. We welcome proposals for presentations at this session of around 300 words to be sent to .
Members of groups that are underrepresented in logic are especially encouraged to submit.
The deadline for submission is May 18, 2025. The notification of acceptance will be sent by June 1, 2025.
