SWIPshop

Now that SWIPshop’s first year (2009-2010) has ended (well done, all!), we’re looking ahead to next year’s workshops. If you’d like to discuss a work-in-progress at a SWIPshop workshop next year, send an abstract (approximately 750 words) to anne.barnhill@gmail.com by September 1, 2010. If we have more submissions than workshop spaces, we’ll prioritize submissions by junior scholars, especially grad students, and select submissions with an eye to diversity of philosophical approaches.

Thanks,
Anne Barnhill (and the rest of the SWIPshop Coordinating Committee-- Amy
Baehr, Gina Campelia, Ishani Maitra, and Rachel McKinney)

What is SWIPshop?

SWIPshop is a workshop where philosophers present papers on any topic in the philosophy of gender, sex, and sexuality, feminist philosophy, feminist theory, feminism, and related topics.  SWIPshop follows the successful models of WOGAP (Workshop on Gender and Philosophy) at MIT, and BayFAP (Bay Area Feminism and Philosophy Workshop).

SWIPshop is a place for philosophers of all genders, all philosophical traditions, and all professional levels (graduate students, junior faculty, senior faculty) to meet as equals and discuss their work in a supportive environment. 

We start at 6:30 pm with dinner (provided by volunteers) and then discuss a paper (which has been distributed in advance) with the author.  After the workshop, we adjourn to a nearby bar for drinks.  Please feel free to meet us at 8:45 pm at the bar, if you can't make it to the workshop. 

TO JOIN THE EMAIL LIST AND TO RSVP, SEND AN EMAIL TO ANNE BARNHILL (anne.barnhill@gmail.com).  MAKE SURE TO RSVP IF YOU WANT DINNER!  YOUR NAME WILL BE PUT ON A LIST WITH THE SECURITY GUARD AT:
