Book presentation “Feministische Epistemologien”

Prof. Dr. Frieder Vogelmann and Dr. Katharina Hoppe will present their edited volume “Feministische Epistemologien” in a round-table discussion with Prof. Dr. Sabine Flick and Dr. Marion Mangelsdorf.

Feminist theories of knowledge and science emerge from extremely lively, interdisciplinary discussions in philosophy and the social sciences. They analyse how gender norms affect knowers, criticise the discrimination of female and queer people by dominant forms of knowledge and propose alternatives to common epistemic concepts and practices.

“Feministische Epistemologien” brings together classic texts as well as current developments by Patricia Hill Collins, Sandra Harding and Donna Haraway, Miranda Fricker and Gurminder K. Bhambra, among others, most of them in German translation for the first time. They all share a core thesis: knowledge is situated in historically specific social practices and structures that are by no means gender-neutral.
