OUP Book Launch: ‘Women of Ideas: Interviews from Philosophy Bites’

To celebrate the publication of ‘Women of Ideas: Interviews from Philosophy Bites’, join Suki Finn in conversation with Rebecca Roache, Teresa M. Bejan, and Sarah Fine, as they discuss the status, works, and experiences of women in philosophy.

‘Women of Ideas’, edited by Suki Finn, features interviews with thirty leading women philosophers and presents an engaging and stimulating taster of what’s going on in philosophy today. Based on interviews from Philosophy Bites, the world’s foremost philosophy podcast, these lively conversations illuminate diverse aspects of being human-personal, social, ethical, and political-for anyone interested in philosophical reflection on our world.
