Since its emergence in the wake of the women\u2019s movements in the middle of 20th century, feminist philosophy has grown into a diverse and interdisciplinary discourse that has long since reached a wider public. Feminist philosophy is a dynamic and heterogeneous field that explores issues such as gender, sex, intersectional forms of oppression, injustice and discrimination, and women\u2019s experiences. Likewise, it includes critical reflections on the history, methods and concepts of traditional philosophy, the application and reinterpretation of philosophical approaches to feminist issues, and the development of novel approaches to philosophical practices with the aim of contributing to gender equality and social justice. The goal of the conference is to facilitate a fruitful exchange between the diverse approaches to feminist philosophy, bringing together different debates of the current discourse.<\/p>\n
Each year, the International Wittgenstein Symposium (IWS) in Kirchberg am Wechsel (Austria) is devoted to a different theme, seeking to bring Wittgenstein scholars together with researchers working in other areas of philosophy. The theme of the IWS in 2025 is \u201cFeminist Philosophy \u2013 Language, Knowledge, and Politics\u201d. While submissions to the section dedicated to Wittgenstein (section 1) do not have to address the conference theme, submissions to sections 2-6 do not have to relate to Wittgenstein. Papers on the intersection between Wittgenstein and Feminist Philosophy are also welcome. In addition to the six sections, the conference will feature a workshop on \u201cFeminist Philosophy of Migration\u201d, organised by Rebecca Buxton and Daniel Sharp.<\/p>\n
We invite submissions for both conference and workshop papers.<\/p>\n

This workshop seeks to fill this gap by bringing insights from feminist philosophy to bear on the philosophy of migration. The workshop will explore how migration governance interacts with core feminist concerns, e.g., about gender-based oppression, as well as how conceptual resources developed by feminist philosophers, e.g., such as concepts like epistemic injustice and intersectionality, might help shed new light on the ethics of migration.<\/p>\n The workshop organizers are looking to fill up to two slots in the workshop via the call for papers. While the workshop organizers will make the final decision about inclusion in the workshop, papers not chosen for the workshop will automatically be considered for \u201cSection 3\u201d of the general conference (\u201cMoral, Legal, and Political Feminisms\u201d) by the main conference organizers. The exact format of the workshop will be determined based on the final list of participants. Submission to the workshop follows the same procedure as submissions to the general conference.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Deadline for paper submissions (to section 1-6 and workshop): March 2nd, 2025<\/p>\n Final date for registration: July 16th, 2025<\/p>\n Instructions for authors: https:\/\/www.alws.at\/iws_organization\/instructions-for-authors\/<\/a><\/p>\n Students and early career researchers are especially encouraged to submit a presentation.<\/p>\n\n
