Description: Feminist Logic is a relatively new but upcoming area of study. Work in this field sheds light on sexist (and other) biases in the area of logic. This is a very broad conception but it captures the diversity of the area of Feminist Logic. More specifically, Feminist Logic can mean... ... to use logical tools for feminist ends, e.g., to uncover biases in arguments or to model social hierarchies to make patriarchal structures explicit, ... to look at the history of logic from a feminist perspective, e.g., by revealing so far disregarded contributions by female logicians and exposing exclusionary practices that led to their invisibility, ... to consider teaching practices in logic and how those disadvantage certain underrepresented groups, ... to devise, revise and/or argue for logical systems from a distinctly feminist perspective, e.g., certain logical systems may seem better or worse suited for formalizing feminist arguments. This workshop aims at sharing and discussing the latest research in this area by bringing together both highly distinguished as well as early career researchers.
