She has published widely on topics across contemporary social and political theory (especially feminist theory and biopolitics)\, the politics of population\, political economy\, Palestine\, and popular culture. Dr Repo’s book\, The Biopolitics of Gender\, was published by Oxford University Press in 2015 and was awarded the 2017 International Studies Association’s Feminist Theory and Gender Studies Book Award. She was also the 2021 winner of the APSA Okin-Young Award in Feminist Political Theory. \nDr Repo will be delivering both our annual StAIGS Lecture and our Graduate Student Masterclass. The lecture is open to all\, but the masterclass is registration only and places are limited\, so please contact the organiser\, Dr Fletcher (jef1)\, if you would like to attend. Full details for these events are below and the poster is attached. \n  \nSecond Annual 58³Ô¹Ï Institute for Gender Studies Lecture \nApril 9\, 3pm-5pm\, St Salvator’s Quad\, School II \nThe Lecture will be followed by a wine reception in Edgecliffe. \nTitle: Commodification and the Economics of Feminist Activism \nAbstract: The resurgence of feminist activism in recent years has been accompanied by the emergence of feminist commodities\, some by small feminist businesses\, others mass-marketed by chains\, some sold purely for profit\, others attached to donations to feminist and other social justice causes. This entails two shifts in feminist activism: first\, the increasing reliance on charitable giving through commodity consumption as a means of feminist political action and second\, the transfer of the work of feminist activism from movements to enterprises. This paper examines the implications of such feminist practices by juxtaposing them with past instances of feminist activism engaged with the commodities. Selling things has been a part of funding feminist activism since the women’s suffrage movement. During the second wave\, feminists likewise had to make various compromises or take political risks in order to secure funding for activism. I examine the parallels between contemporary and past economic modes of feminist activism\, and in so doing analyse how the intensified turn to commodification and the enterprise form change the politics of feminism itself. \n  \n58³Ô¹Ï Institute for Gender Studies Graduate Student Masterclass \nApril 10\, 11am-1pm\, Muir Room\, Old Burgh School \nThe Masterclass is registration only\, so please register by March 22 to avoid disappointment. The Masterclass will be followed by a catered lunch. \nTitle: Genealogy\, ‘Gender Wars’ and the Spectre of Liberalism \nAbstract: Polarisation is widely recognised as a mainstay of the current feminist debate around gender in the UK\, and beyond. ‘Gender critical feminists’ or ‘TERFs’ are pitted against ‘trans activists’ or ‘trans-inclusionary’ feminists. There are many effects of this polarisation. For starters\, these two groups are assumed to be internally coherent politically\, theoretically and ideologically. In this paper\, I am interested in three further effects\, which I also wish to counter. First\, the polarisation of feminism has led to a sense that the two positions exhaust the possible feminist approaches to gender today. Second\, the polarisation of feminism has led to newfound efforts across feminisms to stabilise and entrench given definitions of ‘gender’ as true that run contrary to the queer/poststructural feminist ethos\, and third\, it has re-established the liberal politics of recognition as the primary legitimate mode of feminist politics. The paper draws on feminist\, queer and trans genealogies to destabilise these configurations and to consider a politics that displaces the matrices of identity\, representation\, and recognition.

There are several types of explanation: one can explain by drawing an analogy\, as one can explain by dwelling on the causes (e.g. see Woodward (2004)). Amongst these different kinds of explanation\, in the last decade philosophers have become receptive to those explanations which explain by providing the reasons why a statement is true; these explanations are often called conceptual explanations (e.g. see Betti (2010)\, Huneman (2018)). The main aim of the paper is  to propose a logical account of conceptual explanations. We will do so by using the resources of proof theory\, in particular the sequent calculus. The results we provide not only shed light on conceptual explanations themselves\, but also on the role that logic and logical tools might play in the burgeoning field of inquiry concerning explanations.

Postgraduate students and under-employed recent postgraduates are eligable to apply. Travel costs are not covered by this bursary. Applications must be received by 10th February 2024\, and can be made as part of the general registration process. \n\nPartners \nThe workshop is organised in partnership with the 58³Ô¹Ï Metaphysics and Logic Research Group\, and the 58³Ô¹Ï Medieval Logic Research Group. It is funded by the Arché Research Centre\, the Scots Philosophical Association\, the British Logic Colloquium\, the Association for Symbolic Logic (ASL)\, and the Analysis Trust. \nThis event is affiliated with the PTS Network. Participants can join for updates on activities on Proof-Theoretic Semantics here. \n\nBackground \nProof-theoretic semantics is a research programme that aims to determine the meaning of linguistic expressions by analysing their inferential use. It was inspired by general proof theory\, the logical research programme that led to the development of the sequent calculus and natural deduction systems. Proof-theoretic semantics was subsequently given its name by Peter Schroeder-Heister (one of our speakers) in 1987. Since then\, it has become a vibrant research field in philosophical\, mathematical\, computational and linguistic logic. \n\nContact \nIf you have any questions\, get in touch via proofs@st-andrews.ac.uk.

There is what we ought to do insofar as we are seeking to advance our long-term interests. There is what we ought to do insofar as we are trying to do our job well. There is what we ought to do insofar as we are trying to be good friends. Different oughts can conflict with each other. There may be times when we think such conflict is irresolvable. But at least sometimes we think the conflict is resolvable. At least sometimes we think that one thing we ought to do overrides all others. You might think\, for instance\, that helping a friend in a particular situation is what you really ought to do\, even if it means neglecting your job and forgoing your own interests. Call the ought that overrides all others the authoritative ought. \nWhat makes it true that we authoritatively ought to perform an action? What I will call Humean views hold that what makes it true that we authoritatively ought to perform an action is that we would\, were we to reflect properly\, have a positive response toward performing the action. In this paper I elucidate a distinction within Humean views of the authoritative ought\, and argue for one side over the other. The distinction is between substantivism and formalism\, and the side I argue for is the formalist. \nHumean substantivists (such as Julia Driver and Dale Dorsey) believe that proper reflection will lead all of us to the same substantive practical principles—to principles with content\, to principles that prescribe particular types of action. According to substantivists\, because proper reflection would lead all of us to certain substantive principles\, we can identify the actions that fall under those principles as those we authoritatively ought to perform.  \nHumean formalists (such as W.D. Falk and Sharon Street) deny that we are warranted in thinking that proper reflection will lead everyone to the same substantive principles. According to formalists\, we can identify the form of authoritative oughts: what we authoritatively ought to do is what we would respond positively to when we reflect properly. But that is all we can do. We cannot identify the authoritative ought with any substantive content. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03 \n  URL:/philevents/event/ceppa-talk-in-person-michael-gill-edinburgh/ CATEGORIES:CEPPA Talk END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
