Deepshikha Sharma’s post is part of our Revealing Voices blog series. The Orient or The Occident, the malestreamness of Philosophy pervades all academic institutions. While I dabbled The Vedas and The Republic, I barely came across women philosophers in the prescribed syllabi. Tokenistic approaches or footnotes mentioned them in hushed voices and minuscule fonts. And […]
As official health reports continue to suggest that an FDA-approved vaccine will be imminently available, the world now braces for a second act to our quarantined existence. Waiting until the summer months to “return to normal” feels both tantalizingly close and dauntingly out of reach, and the question of what will be considered “normal” lingers […]

Since 2016 Project Vox has worked to build and connect a broad community centered around reforming philosophy instruction, and has seen both clear engagement from that audience as well as positive responses from scholars, students, and the general public. In our view, we would not have been so successful, had we not had an individual […]

Meet Anna Maria van Schurman: New Philosopher on Project Vox! If there is ever a person where describing them as “remarkable,” “extraordinary,” or “incredible” is an understatement, it is the Dutch genius Anna Maria van Schurman (1607-1678).

Heather Baker’s post is part of our Behind the Scenes blog series. This may be a bold claim, but I can confidently say that Project Vox has made me a better chef, and I am sure that is just the beginning. Is there anything that the early modern women of philosophy can’t do? It turns […]

Martine van Elk’s post is part of our Revealing Voices blog series.

Anne Larsen’s post is part of our Revealing Voices blog series.
