AHRC Spinoza Research Network
Dundee Philosophy is pleased to announce the Spinoza Research Network. This network of researchers, focusing on interdisciplinary connections in the work of Baruch Spinoza, features a website, two conferences in 2009 and 2010, and other events.
Royal Society of Edinburgh Research Network Grant for the Arts and Humanities
The Philosophy Programme at Dundee currently hosts the Research Network Engendering Dialogue: Feminist Thought and Contemporary Debates in Art, Science and Education, funded by this Research Network Grant from the Royal Society of Edinburgh. The project’s aim is to use three conferences and a Network website to build links between feminist philosophers and researchers and practitioners in key areas of debate in the contemporary Scottish context. By targeting debates in education, the visual arts, and cognitive science (a field in which Scottish HEIs have an internationally recognised expertise), the Network aims to increase awareness of the significance of gender in key areas of intellectual and cultural production as well as in the development of educational practices.
The Network is organised by Dr Rachel Jones (Philosophy, University of Dundee) together with Project Assistant Carrie Giunta (Doctoral Researcher, Philosophy, University of Dundee).
The first Network conference, ‘Bodies of Thought’, was co-organised with Professor Mike Wheeler (Philosophy, University of Stirling); the second, ‘Seeing Things Differently’, is being co-organised with Mary Modeen (Senior Lecturer in Fine Art, Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design); and the third, on feminist philosophy and education, is being organised with Dr Aislinn O’Donnell (Philosophy of Education at Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick) and Dr Graeme Nixon (School of Education, University of Aberdeen).
