Continuing the discussion of "paradigms" of the philosophical life and
philosophical work and analysis, could anyone presently in attendance explain
how philosophy is transformed when "natality and the female body that births
are placed at the centre of our thinking"? Dundee is a wonderful little town -
much like St. John's actually, both geographically and socially - but I
hesitate to make the journey without some assurance that the topics to be
addressed are cogent ones.

International Conference in Feminist Philosophy: "Natality, Embodiment and the
Political: Feminist Conversations"
28th & 29th May 2009, School of Humanities, University of Dundee.
Keynote speakers: Christine Battersby and Adriana Cavarero
This international conference on feminist philosophy takes as its starting point
the influential work of our two keynote speakers. In different ways, both
Battersby and Cavarero have shown how philosophy and politics are transformed
when natality and the female body that births are placed at the centre of our
thinking. The aim of the conference is to explore feminist lines of thought
that open up from or intersect with key aspects of their work.
