The Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists at Paderborn University organizes the Croatia Libori Summer School 2022 in Zadar, Croatia, from July 11 to 15. All interested persons, scientists or students from the fields of philosophy, humanities, social, women's and gender studies can participate. Registration is possible until July 1. The conference is hosted in cooperation with the University of Zadar (Croatia) and the Institute of Philosophy Zagreb (Croatia).
Since 2017, the Libori Summer School has been held regularly. In 2021, the Institute of Philosophy organized an online-only event due to the corona pandemic. This summer, for the first time after 2019, the participants of the conference will meet again in Zadar. The preliminary program includes lectures and small workshops on various topics.
Philosophical endeavor beyond the mainstream
The Research Centre for Women in Philosophy at the Institute of Philosophy in Croatia and the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientist at Paderborn University in Germany are devoted to promoting research and studies of women in the history of philosophy. This special philosophical endeavour beyond the mainstream is pursued to fill gaps in the history of philosophy. "Can we repair the damage done to philosophy which, by excluded practically all women from its history, put in question its credibility and identity? Can we fully understand Socrates without Diotima, Plato without Aspasia, Descartes without Teresa of Ávila, Kant without Émilie Du Châtelet? How do we integrate women philosophers in the philosophical canon?" asks Prof. Dr. Ruth E. Hagengruber, Head of the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists. "This year's Croatia Libori Summer School aims to find answers to these questions along with the international research network which includes renown researchers and philosophers from Germany, the USA, Ukraine, Spain, and Croatia"
