Committee on Gender, Sexuality, and the Status of Women (CGSSW) Workshop
Online, Thursday, September 25th at 3PM EST.

This workshop provides a collaborative environment for developing conference papers in the philosophical study of gender, sex, and sexuality. The session focuses on strengthening argumentation, clarifying conceptual frameworks, and addressing potential objections within feminist philosophy, queer theory, and philosophy of gender. We hope attendees will enhance their papers' philosophical rigor and scholarly contribution. Topics may include gender ontology, sexual ethics, identity theory, embodiment, and intersectionality. The workshop aims to prepare compelling presentations for academic conferences while fostering community among PES Members.
