Women in
the history
of political thought

More and more exciting research is being produced by scholars of political theory and related fields––such as political science, history, and political philosophy––exploring the contributions of women to the history of political thought.

The aim of this research network is to bring these scholars together in order to foster new intersections and to inspire future research. Our next event will be a 2-day workshop on Women Across Traditions in Political Thought in Toronto.

This network is founded by Torrey Shanks, Mary Jo MacDonald, and Geertje Bol. It has hosted two conferences to date, with a third workshop forthcoming. These events have been generously funded by Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Preferential Partnership grant from Ghent University, the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus, and the Gender in Renaissance and Early Modern Philosophy project at the University of Jyväskylä.
