    Human Rights

    feminist- and gender-philosophical Perspectives


    Call for Papers

    Cooperative Symposium
    University of Vienna, Department of Philosophy and
    Society for Women in Philosophy (SWIP Austria)

    Date: Friday 16th + Saturday 17th November 2018


    Venue: Department of Philosophy, NIG Universitaetsstr. 7, University of Vienna

    This symposium explores human rights and emphasizes feminist and gender-philosophical perspectives. It
    welcomes submissions from all disciplines, sub-disciplines and tendencies inside philosophy as well as
    interdisciplinary papers and projects.
    In recent years especially, international theories of justice and cosmopolitan ethics have addressed questions of
    justification and implementation of human rights and investigated their moral, political, legal and cultural
    significance. Nonetheless, the central idea of human rights that all humans are equal still remains not only a
    major philosophical problem, but also a juridico-political challenge. Hence, we are confronted with a series of
    fundamental theoretical, as well as practical questions.
    Accordingly, the topics of the symposium will range from fundamental aspects of human rights to more specific
    issues – such as (including, but not limited to): fundamental philosophical aspects of human rights; a critical
    philosophical inquiry into the concept of human rights; the role of human rights in recent political issues (e.g. the
    pressure situation of asylum seekers); human rights in regard to economic questions (e.g. women and poverty in
    a neoliberal world-order and women in exploitative situations all over the world); Critical Whiteness; LGBTIQ
    and human rights; human rights and the precarious situation of children all over the world; human rights and
    religion as a feminist issue; freedom and security; human rights and the issue of environmental protection; a
    gender-theoretical and feminist approach to the antifeminist, antisemitic and chauvinistic tendencies inside far-
    right political parties worldwide; human rights and transhumanism (e.g. the possibility of attributing human
    rights to cyborgs), and so forth.

    We also welcome papers and projects for a free section.

    Participants are welcome to submit abstracts for presentations to the following email-address
    by 1st May 2018: [email protected]
    A full paper-version is due to be delivered in September 2018.

    Abstracts:
    Prepare a short outline of the proposed contribution (max. 600 words, Times new roman, 12 pts, double spacing)
    incl. an informative title and send it as an attachment in MS Word or PDF.
    Please include the relevant contact details: name, affiliation with academic institution/independent scholars,
    postal address and email-address.

    All accepted contributions will be published as an academic paper in a special volume of the SWIP Austria
    Series.

    Background of SWIP Austria


    The aim of SWIP Austria is to bring into focus the importance of women working in academia and to promote their work in
    philosophy. SWIP is not only a forum for feminists and gender-scientists, it also provides a basis for scientific exchange and
    cooperation among women in the philosophical field in general. The society is a non-profit organization which supports
    women working in and committed to research of philosophy in Austria. Its purpose is to improve and cultivate equal
    treatment and gender parity for women in philosophy. One important aim is to be committed to ending discrimination against
    women which can be found not only in all parts of our society but also at universities.
