The Eastern Divsion of the Society for Women In Philosophy

I just want to thank everyone for contributing to a very successful virtual conference!  I especially want to thank our presenters, the chair of the program committee, Lisa Wilkinson, and ESWIP’s Treasurer, Lisa Yount, who helped put registration together.

I have closed comments on all the “pages”; however, if you wish to continue discussions, please do so in the posts (in the blog feed) for each day (e.g., Maeve’s paper on Friday’s post, etc.).  I have also taken down the text of “The Production of Queer Space” at Rita’s request.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and especially if you have any suggestions.  This is both ESWIP’s and my first virtual conference, so I’m eager to learn how to improve and tweak the format.

Thanks again!

I have loaded two pages for Friday, both available in the third row of pages at the top (the second row of white buttons).

First, we have “Mothering with Disability” by Maeve O’Donovan of the College of Notre Dame of Maryland.

This paper serves as somewhat of a transition between this Virtual Conference and our APA Eastern panel on feminism and disability.  You can contact Maeve for more information/submitting to this panel. (modonovan AT nmd DOT edu)

Also, we have three pieces by Ani Rose Whaleswan, each of which is inspired by/in conversation with the work of Mary Daly.

Finally, just to remind everyone that the comments will remain open Saturday and Sunday, but will be closed at 11:59pm Sunday night.

The Production of Queer Space

by D. Rita Alfonso

As usual, the paper is posted as a “page” accessible in the top right corner of the conference site.

Exciting event:
Rita has planned a synchronous ustream event to discuss her paper.  This sounds exciting!  From Rita: IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN TAKING PART OF A LIVE ONLINE DISCUSSION OF THIS PAPER ON WED OR FRIDAY, PLEASE DROP ME A LINE AND I’LL SEND YOU MORE DETAILS: dralfonso@berkeley.edu .

Thanks, Rita, for making the conference even more interactive!

I’m pleased to announce the official opening of the 2010 ESWIP Virtual Conference!

Our first paper–Jennifer Benson’s “Daly, Lugones, and the Ontology of Freedom”–is up and available for commenting – you can find a link to the paper’s main page in the top right corner of the website, next to the “Registration” and “About” pages.

For an explanation of how this all works, follow this link:
