Veldig glad for å kunne skrive for ‪@forskerforum.bsky.social roterende Forskerlivet-spalte; denne gangen om #akademia og #filosofi i USA.

Behovet for meningsfulle forskningsprosjekter er ikke mindre nå som vi befinner oss i Trumps andre periode, hvor angrepene på både demokratiet og akademia har vært sjokkerende både i omfang og i sin utilslørte natur, skriver @kristingjesdal.bsky.social. www.forskerforum.no/forskerlivet...

This was special. I got to host ABC's The Philosophers' Zone, in celebration of International Women's Day. And - the best part - I interviewed my good friend Kristin Gjesdal. Hear Kristin (and me) talk about IWD and the woman behind it, Clara Zetkin, here: www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

The reluctant feminist: Clara Zetkin and International Women's Day - ABC listen

Clara Zetkin (1857-1933) is widely celebrated as the founder of International Women's Day, yet she saw herself first and foremost as a socialist revolutionary. Far from embracing the mainstream women'...

For more on Zetkin, I highly recommend @kristingjesdal.bsky.social's incisive interview with @herplacepod.bsky.social, especially re Zetkin's analysis of fascism. She died in exile in 1933--she knew what she was talking about. #IWD #IWD2026 #herstory #womenshistory open.spotify.com/episode/3j8Q...

Her Place in Theory@herplacepod.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Her Place in Theory is back for 2026! Kicking things off with a fascinating conversation between @kristingjesdal.bsky.social and @juliettemarchant.bsky.social on the life and thought of Clara Zetkin - Marxist theorist and tireless advocate for women’s liberation. open.spotify.com/episode/3j8Q...

Supert å være med på den roterende Forskerlivet-serien til @forskerforum.bsky.social. Neste innlegg i april! #Forskerliv #Forskning #Akademia #Universitetet

Svake studenter har problemer med å rette oppmerksomheten mot lengre, sammenhengende resonnementer. De sterke studentene, derimot, leser i vei som før – og gapet mellom de som leser og de som ikke leser øker drastisk, skriver filosofiprofessor Kristin Gjesdal. www.forskerforum.no/forskerlivet...

Excellent conversation between @kristingjesdal.bsky.social and @herplacepod.bsky.social on Clara Zetkin—philosopher, activist, powerful critic of fascism. Highly recommend! #philsky #womeninphilosophy #womenshistory podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

For the first episode of Her Place in Theory (@herplacepod.bsky.social) in 2026, I had the pleasure of talking with @kristingjesdal.bsky.social about the remarkable Clara Zetkin - Marxist theorist, communist activist, and tireless advocate for women’s liberation. open.spotify.com/episode/3j8Q...

Looking for something to read for the rest of this Thanksgiving weekend, if you're in the US? Or for a cozy, regular weekend, in the rest of the Northern hemisphere? Or for a warm weekend outside for those in the Southern hemisphere? Or...? You get the drill... 😉

Extending New Narratives@ennhistphil.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Check out this new open access journal! journal.lib.uoguelph.ca/index.php/nn... It has taken a long time to bring into being, but it has some excellent articles, some original new translations, along with interesting discussions of those translations. #philsky

Ich freue mich, dass ich sie in einem der vielen Büchern über weibliche Vordenkerinnen entdecke: Clara Zetkin "Rebellinnen der Philosophie - Frauen, die das Denken der Moderne geprägt haben." von Kristin Gjesdal; übersetzt von Sarah Schmitt Erschienen im @eichbornverlag.bsky.social #fbm25

Philosophical sighting in the #Berlin wild! Congratulations again to @kristingjesdal.bsky.social and happy day after World Philosphy Day! #angeladavis #zetkin #luxemburg #annajuliacooper #philsky #womeninphilosophy #womenshistory @dalianassar.bsky.social @skyecleary.bsky.social

One of the many virtues of Rebellinnen der Philosophie is that it allows me to continue my series of impressive head gear sighted in Berlin #hume #germainedestael #beauvoir

First episode of a wonderful new podcast--Her Place in Theory--featuring the political #philosophy of Germaine de #Staël in an interview with Helena Rosenblatt. Learned so much and looking forward to more! @juliettemarchant.bsky.social #philsky #womeninphilosophy podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

More women philosophers are always welcome: Hilda Oakeley seems particularly erudite & her works include History and Progress (1923); Greek Ethical Thought (1925); A Study in the Philosophy of Personality (1928) and History and the Self (1934). Can't wait to read more! #19C #philsky #womenshistory

Ellie Robson@philosophellie.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Hilda Oakeley was the (acting) Head of Department at King's College from 1925-30 and Head of Department in 1931. @kingsphilosophy.bsky.social Read more about her in this 2015 blog written by Emily Thomas: feministhistoryofphilosophy.wordpress.com/2015/07/20/i...

Very happy to see that my book is starting to get a life in Germany! #womenshistory #19C #philsky #books

Rebellinnen der Philosophie by @kristingjesdal.bsky.social , translated from Norwegian

Finally! Rebellinnen der Philosophie is here in a gorgeous translation by Sarah Schmitt. Thanks to the editors at ‪@eichbornverlag.bsky.social‬ for the work they put into this. Next up: the English transl., Unruly Women, @uchicagopress.bsky.social. #philsky #booksky #education #womenshistory

Weighing in at 827 pages and 2 1/4 inches, our Oxford Handbook of American and British Women Philosophers in the 19th Century is HERE! Huge thanks to @oupphilosophy.bsky.social and our 50+ authors. Restoring women to the philosophical canon is a matter of justice, but it is also better scholarship!

Philosophy Friends & Fellow Colleagues: I have very exciting news for #TheYoungIdealist Series! This Summer will feature special guests Dr. Catherine Grimm, Dr. Matthew McManus, Dr. Sebastian Luft, @kristingjesdal.bsky.social Dr. Kristin Gjesdal, Dr. Fernando Wirtz, Dr. Daniel Tutt, & Ray Brassier.

My Rebellinnen der Philosophie is out in two weeks’ time! Pre-order available: bastei-luebbe.de/Buecher/Sach... #philsky #booksky #author

How to think about children and education? About learning and learning well? Maria Montessori’s work should not be overlooked. She was a formidable philosopher. Patrick Frierson’s new book on her philosophy of education does her full justice. Summer reading, anyone? #philsky #booksky #education

Very excited to visit Helsinki & looking forward to lots of high-quality talks on art and aesthetics at the Nordic Society of Aesthetics’ annual conference this weekend. www.nsae.fi/conferences/ #philsky #art

Happy Birthday, Margaret #Fuller! A good year for her--wonderful treatment of her importance in both these new publications. More this year in our OUP volume on American women #philosophers. #philsky #womeninphilosophy #americanphilosophy #transcendentalism

The summer conference schedule is off with a bang! Looking so much forward to “The Philosophy of Angela Y. Davis” in Bergen this week. @schlawinerkreis.bsky.social and @franz.knappik.bsky.social have put together an amazing conference program - #philsky #books #norway

George Eliot was an extraordinary gifted novelist. She was also a philosophical thinker. This week, Clare Carlisle’s much-anticipated Stanford Encyclopedia-entry on George Eliot’s philosophy is up online. Do check it out –   #books #philsky #art #history

#19C women philosophers are touring the world! @dalianassar.bluesky.social and my edited volume is already out in English and Norwegian. The Arab translation is going to print today -  @lucyrandall802.bsky.social #philsky #booksky #women #feminism

Looking so much forward to this event! Thanks to ‪@schlawinerkreis.bsky.social and @franzknappik.bsky.social for organizing - #philsky #booksky

Daniel James@schlawinerkreis.bsky.social · last yr.

On May 22–23, @franzknappik.bsky.social & I are hosting a conference on The Philosophy of Angela Davis. Davis has shaped debates on freedom, abolition, race, class & history — yet remains overlooked in both mainstream political philosophy & critical theory. This conference seeks to change that.

A political superpower à la England and Russia! Germaine de Staël was born 04/22/1766. Her philosophy? Humboldt adored her moral psychology; Goethe and Schiller praised her aesthetics. New translations of her philosophy are much overdue. Here, too, she is a superpower -

Ibsen’s “Ghosts,” directed by Jack O’Brian, at the LCT, NYC, is definitely worthwhile. And this comes from somebody who has seen what probably amounts to an unhealthy number of Ibsen stagings, esp. while researching my Ibsen, Hegel, Nietzsche-book.   #books #performance

Final panel of my #womenshistorymonth tetraptych. A book @lydiamoland.bsky.social has not mentioned: her own! «Lydia Maria Child: A Radical American Life» is truly inspiring & relevant. We need more Lydias – of the #19C and of the #21C kind. @uchicagopress.bsky.social #philsky #books
