Gender, Race, and Sexuality: Philosophy of Language and Social Ontology

GRSLSO   |   2025 / 2026

In this reading group, we read and discuss Philosophy of Language and Social Ontology papers concerning the topics of gender, race, and sexuality. We run this reading group in 2024/2025, and resumed it in Fall 2025. We meet online every three weeks on Wednesdays at 11.00 a.m. When possible, we invite the authors of the papers to join us.
