The Society for Social and Political Philosophy: Historical, Continental, and Feminist Perspectives (SSPP)

The Society for Social and Political Philosophy: Historical, Continental, and Feminist Perspectives (SSPP) seeks to promote debate and scholarship in Social and Political Philosophy. Through meetings, events, and publications the society aims to provide an inclusive, non-hierarchical, and interdisciplinary forum for interested scholars from various disciplines, orientations, and training, to engage issues concerning the historical, continental, and feminist aspects of political and social theory. “Historical” is understood to encompass textual, interpretative, and discursive analyses not limited to Marxist, Hermeneutic, Genealogical, Post-Colonial, and other approaches. “Continental” is understood in the broadest possible terms, including the intersection of European, Latin American, Asian, and African systems of thought and philosophical practices. “Feminist” is intended here to include anything that privileges sex, gender, and queer identities in approaching social and political relations. When and where possible and appropriate, the society will provide support for researchers in the humanities and the social sciences who pursue these themes, and represent the interest of its members within professional organizations, congresses, or associations, national or international.

More information about the Society is available at the SSPP website. 2008 membership in SSPP includes a special issue of the journal International Studies in Philosophy, volume 39, number 2 (not yet published).
