|PROFESSOR NANCY TUANA, DIRECTOR
|JULY 1, 1996 - AUGUST 9, 1996
|UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE
Applications are invited for a six week seminar on feminist epistemologies.
The seminar will involve an examination of feminist research in the areas of
epistemology and philosophy of science and an investigation of the relations
between feminist and mainstream philosophical theories and methods in these
areas. Themes to be considered include: the role of background assumptions
in the development of knowledge, the epistemic import of subjective
components of the knowledge process; and the nature of the agent of
knowledge. Ample time will be allowed for participants to work on research
projects of their own. Applications are invited from college teachers and
independent scholars. A stipend of $3200 is paid for the six weeks. The
deadline for applications is March 1, 1996.
ELIGIBILITY: NEH Seminars are designed for college teachers in institutions
that do not have doctoral programs in the candidate's area. Independent
scholars are also invited to apply. Applicants must be US Citizens or have
resided in the US since March 1, 1993.
