Since Plato\, western philosophy ha s been set down a path paved by a disavowal of the sensuous\, bracketed ma terial bodies\, and delimited aesthetic conceptions\, leaving human beings and their built environments separated from the natural world. Such exclu sions have left philosophy ill-equipped to deal with the various environme ntal crises we currently face\, as economic rationality and utilitarian lo gic further de-animate the world and sharpen the human/nature distinction. Even the concept “environment” often\, and ironically\, brings with it im plicit anthropocentric assumptions\, conceptualizing\, and thereby separat ing\, the human as independent from the surrounding world and reinforcing the human/nature divide. As a result\, our (mis)understandings of “nature” and “environment” may make us insensitive to and perpetuate\, rather than address\, climate change and other environmental catastrophes. To avoid a mbiguities and clarify our understanding\, we must ask: what role does Nat ure play within our theories and practices concerning so-called Environmen tal Philosophy? Furthermore\, what spaces\, practices\, and questions are made possible when we broaden our understanding of “environment” to includ e a more robust conceptualization of the natural world and how the human b eing ought to be contextualized within it?
\nThis conference asks ho w we might reorient the language and practices of philosophy in a way that can enable us to adequately respond to ongoing environmental crises. As a starting point\, we propose a need to reimagine the concepts “human\,” “n ature\,” and “environment\,” as well as the reciprocal relations that cons titute them. To recognize humans as natural organisms\, we must reevaluate the sensuous\, the material\, and the aesthetic and the roles they play i n our attempts to construct\, understand\, and preserve our environment(s) . How should we make sense of our practices and our relations to those wit h whom we share our surroundings? How can we re-situate the human with/in the environment? Do we have the right tools to guide these investigations? How might philosophy look beyond itself—to literature\, architecture\, mu sic\, film\, design—to better bring Environment\, and thus the world\, int o view? In the spirit of this\, we invite paper as well as project submiss ions from current graduate students in any discipline.

Is femi nism in crisis? Recently\, in the United States and abroad\, historic even ts rendered ever more precarious the lives and well-being of people margin alized by their sex\, gender\, race\, and class\, often in complexly inter secting and regionally specific ways. The rise of right-wing populism tran snationally and attacks on reproductive rights\, for example\, exacerbate the challenges feminists confront. At the same time\, as external conditio ns shift\, feminism’s own faultlines continue to deepen. Feminism’s rising trans-exclusionary contingent\, certain feminists’ hesitancy to reckon wi th complicity in racial and colonial violence\, and the ongoing cooptation of feminism by neoliberalism signal serious internal fractures.
\nA s feminism faces external and internal pressures\, how can philosophy help us understand this moment of potential crisis and what\, if anything\, ca n philosophy do to address it? To devise answers to these urgent questions \, we welcome contributions that focus on:
\n1. The relation bet ween feminism and philosophy\, including how feminism should intervene in philosophical debates\, and how philosophy should intervene in feminist de bates\;
\n2. Questions concerning the nature and practice of gen der\, sex\, sexuality\, race\, class\, and disability that draw on feminis t literatures or methodologies\;
\n3. Perspectives that integrat e different feminist traditions to build intersectional and transnational feminist coalitions\;
\n4. Analyses of discourses on sex\, gende r\, sexuality\, race\, class\, and disability in media\, law\, and the sci ences\;
\n5. Translating feminist views on sex\, gender\, sexual ity\, race\, class\, and disability into public policy and social advocacy .
\nWe welcome contributions from scholars working in philosophy and who draw on a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Scholars of all ident ities\, especially those from groups underrepresented and/or marginalized in academia\, are encouraged to submit contributions.
\nPlease send anonymized abstracts of up to 500 words to cunygc.philosophy.conference@gmail .com\, along with any questions you may have. The deadline for submiss ions is September 7th.
\nBook Panel with:
\nChiara Bottici (NSSR a nd Lang College)\, Judith Butler (UC Berkeley and NSSR) and Romy Opperman (NSSR a nd Lang College).
\nAbstract:
\nHow can we b e sure the oppressed do not become oppressors in their turn? How can we en visage a feminism that doesn’t turn into yet another tool for oppression? By arguing that there is no single arche explaining the oppression of wome n and LGBTQI+ people\, Chiara Bottici proposes a radical anarchafeminist p hilosophy inspired by two major claims: that there is something specific t o the oppression of ‘the second sexes’\, and that\, in order to fight that \, we need to untangle all other forms of oppression and the anthropocentr ism they inhabit. On the basis of a Spinozist philosophy of transindividua lity\, Anarchafeminism calls for a decolonial and deimperial attitude and for a renewed awareness of the somatic communism connecting all different life forms on the planet. In this revolutionary vision\, feminism does not mean the liberation of the lucky few\, but liberation of the planet from both capitalist exploitation and an anthropocentric politics of domination . Either the entire planet\, or none of us will be free.

\nAs a specific form of rig hts insecurity the revocability of reproductive rights manifests contradic tory understandings (privative and productive) of the political status of pregnancy.
\nI ask how and why we should understand reproductive rig hts as revocable\, giving a broad meaning to the term “revocability\,” and suggesting a conjoined vocabulary that includes conditionality\, exceptio nality\, and disqualifying qualification.
\nI ask: what kind of gram mar might help us understand more specifically how the concurrent action o f conflicting combinations of power (such as sovereignty\, discipline\, se curity\, necropower\, and neoliberal expectation) coordinate together in r elation to reproductive rights-bearing\, and how heterogeneous combination s of power also produce a mutual disruptiveness\, even auto-critique\, man ifesting as conflictual embodiment.

\nIn the history of philosophy\, most of the ‘great’ philosophers engaged with questions a bout women’s ‘nature’ and the appropriate role for women in the family\, s ociety\, and state.
\nHobbes\, however\, seems to have far less to s ay on the subject than most\, and what he does say is often ambiguous or p aradoxical.
\nIt is a fundamental tenet of Hobbes’s political theory that all people are equal in the state of nature\, women included\; yet h e makes reference to the general superiority of men as regards physical st rength\, courage\, wit\, and suitability for rule.
\nHobbes denies t he naturalness\, inevitability\, and godliness of patriarchy\, and he even argues for natural maternal right\; however\, he describes families in ci vil societies in terms of fathers ruling over their servants and children— leaving women out of the picture altogether.
\nHis texts are p eppered with various offhand comments\, allusions\, and intimations about women and sexuality more generally\, many of which are provocative and und eveloped.
\nOne of the most intriguing parts of his an alysis is his repeated appeal to the example of the ancient Amazonian warr ior women who engaged in procreative contracts with men from neighboring t ribes.
\n\n
In this paper\, the speaker uses Ho bbes’s discussion of the Amazons to examine his views about gender and\, t hereby\, his place in the history of philosophy as seen from a feminist pe rspective.

)\, Rose Rejouis (The New School) and a response by
A Feminist Mythology takes us on a poetic journey through the canonical myths of femininity\, testing t hem from the point of view of our modern condition. A myth is not an objec t\, but rather a process\, one that Chiara Bottici practises by exploring different variants of the myth of “womanhood” through first- and third-per son prose and poetry. We follow a series of myths that morph into each oth er\, disclosing ways of being woman that question inherited patriarchal or ders. In this metamorphic world\, story-telling is not just a mix of narra tive\, philosophical dialogues and metaphysical theorizing: it is a curren t that traverses all of them by overflowing the boundaries it encounters. In doing so\, A Feminist Mythology proposes an alternative writin g style that recovers ancient philosophical and literary traditions from t he pre-Socratic philosophers and Ovid’s Metamorphoses to the philosophical novellas and feminist experimental writings of the last century.

The speaker will explain the meaning of concepts of movement s such as communism\, liberalism\, and republicanism. Then she will argue how these concepts were used as guides to praxis by focusing first on repu blicanism and Kant. Finally\, she will articulate her concept of feminist imaginaries focusing on how the sediments of historical time have enabled different struggles for emancipation.
