In recent years, however, a number of feminist authors have demonstrated care ethics’ applicability to general moral and political problems. Yet they have not yet developed an institutionally based caring political theory. -

Some of these inequalities are trivial and others are not; together they form a framework of unequal treatment that shapes women's lives. This paper asks what priority we should give inequalities that affect women; it critically analyzes Claudia Card's view that feminists ought to give evils priority. Sometimes ending gender-based inequalities is the best route to eliminating gender-based evil. -

Introduction Virtual Issue of Hypatia
Introduction: Hypatia Essays on the Place of Women in the Profession of Philosophy INTRODUCTION Hypatia Virtual Issue: “Hypatia Essays on the Place of Women in the Profession of Philosophy” Edited by Ann E. Cudd This virtual issue brings together essays published by Hypatia over a twenty year timespan that address the question of women’s place in the profession of philosophy. The issue includes essays about women in the history of philosophy, empirical studies of the numbers of women at various stages in careers in philosophy, analytical essays about why women, including specifically women of color, are not reaching parity with white men in the profession, and essays and reports about what women are doing to change the representation of women in philosophy. The issue highlights the efforts that women have made through the centuries and in the pages of this Journal to demand a place for women as philosophers. The first section, “Women in Historical Perspective,” includes three essays and one archival document. We begin with an essay by Eileen O’Neill, “Early Modern Women Philosophers and the History of Philosophy,” in which she recalls a 1990 session at the Eastern Division APA meeting where she listed some sixty women in the history of early modern philosophy, almost none of whom had even been heard of by the audience. O’Neill goes on to record how this changed somewhat in the intervening fifteen years. She analyzes some of the reasons for the exclusion of women from the canon, and how much work is still to be done to accord these historical women their proper places as philosophers. -

Racial Transitions and Controversial Positions: Reply to Taylor, Gordon, Sealey, Hom, and Botts
DOI: 10.5840/philtoday2018223200 Racial Transitions and Controversial Positions: Reply to Taylor, Gordon, Sealey, Hom, and Botts REBECCA TUVEL Abstract: In this essay, I reply to critiques of my article “In Defense of Transracialism.” Echoing Chloë Taylor and Lewis Gordon’s remarks on the controversy over my article, I first reflect on the lack of intellectual generosity displayed in response to my paper. In reply to Kris Sealey, I next argue that it is dangerous to hinge the moral acceptability of a particular identity or practice on what she calls a collective co-signing. In reply to Sabrina Hom, I suggest that relying on the language of passing to describe transracial- ism is potentially misleading. In reply to Tina Botts, I both defend analytic philosophy of race against her multiple criticisms and suggest that Botts’s remarks risk complicity with a form of transphobia that Talia Mae Bettcher calls the Basic Denial of Authenticity. I end by gesturing toward a more inclusive understanding of racial identity. Key words: transracialism, transracial, transgender, passing, racial essentialism, Rachel Dolezal y article “In Defense of Transracialism” argues that considerations in rightful support of transgender identity extend to transracial Midentity. The impetus for my article was the 2015 controversy over Rachel Dolezal—the former NAACP chapter head who self-identifies as black despite having white parents. My argument sought to name and challenge an underlying transphobic and racially essentialist logic at work in public discus- sions of Dolezal’s story. In my research on this topic, I found that preexisting philosophical literature failed to consider adequately the metaphysical and ethical possibility of transracialism. -

Women in African Cinema: an Aesthetic and Thematic Analysis of Filmmaking by Women in Francophone West Africa and Lusophone and Anglophone Southern Africa
University of Stirling Women in African Cinema: An aesthetic and thematic analysis of filmmaking by women in francophone West Africa and lusophone and anglophone Southern Africa Lizelle Bisschoff Supervised by Professor David Murphy Submitted for the degree of PhD in French Studies School of Languages, Cultures and Religions November 2009 ABSTRACT Women in African Cinema: An aesthetic and thematic analysis of filmmaking by women in francophone West Africa and lusophone and anglophone Southern Africa This study focuses on the role of women in African cinema – in terms of female directors working in the African film industries as well as the representation of women in African film. My research specifically focuses on francophone West African and lusophone and anglophone Southern African cinemas (in particular post-apartheid South African cinema). This research is necessary and significant because African women are underrepresented in theoretical work as well as in the practice of African cinema. The small corpus of existing theoretical and critical studies on the work of female African filmmakers clearly shows that African women succeed in producing films against tremendous odds. The emergence of female directors in Africa is an important but neglected trend which requires more dedicated research. The pioneering research of African-American film scholar Beti Ellerson is exemplary in this regard, as she has, since the early 2000s, initiated a new field of academic study entitled African Women Cinema Studies. My own research is situated within this emerging field and aims to make a contribution to it. The absence of women in public societal spheres is often regarded as an indicator of areas where societies need to change.
