HYPATIA | ScotFemPhil

Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy is being hosted at Glasgow from 2024-2029, marking the first time the journal has been edited outside North America in its 40+ year history. It is being edited by a team with members from Glasgow, Edinburgh, Durham, and Groningen.

Hypatia, published by Cambridge University Press, is the most well-established journal for scholarly research at the intersection of philosophy and women's studies and is a leader in reclaiming the work of women philosophers. It is described as an indispensable tool for anyone interested in the rapidly expanding and developing scholarship in feminist philosophy.

The members of the new team (below, left to right):

Aidan McGlynn is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh. His current research and teaching focuses on epistemology, feminist philosophy, and their overlap, and he has recently published on epistemic injustice, pornography, objectification, standpoint epistemology, active ignorance, and sex education.
Aness Kim Webster is Assistant Professor in Philosophy at Durham University. Her research explores connections between feminist philosophy and philosophy of race, on the one hand, and value theory, broadly construed, on the other. She has published on agency, autonomy, shame, and stereotyping.
Katharine Jenkins is Reader in Philosophy at the University of Glasgow. Her current research focuses on the nature of race and gender categories and their relationship to oppression, and she has also published work on topics including feminist methodology, pornography, disability, and sexual violence and feminist epistemology
Charlotte Knowles is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Groningen. Her primary research areas lie in feminist philosophy and phenomenology, with a particular focus on issues of complicity, freedom, injustice and responsibility. She has recently published work on testimony and gender-based violence, adaptive preferences, and clothing practices.
Simona Capisani is an Assistant Professor in Philosophy at Durham University. Her research is grounded in normative political and social philosophy but is interdisciplinary in scope focusing on the intersection of climate justice and governance, structural injustice, environmental politics, feminist philosophy, environmental philosophy, contemporary social science, and immigration. She has recently published on topics including climate change-induced displacement, immobility, and migration, state sovereignty and birthright citizenship in the context of climate change, climate adaptation, embodiment, and international climate governance.

"We are honoured and excited to be taking on the editorship of Hypatia. We will aim to build on the excellent work of the previous editorial team and maintain the journal’s standing as a premier venue for work in all areas of feminist philosophy. In particular, we aim to ensure a smooth, timely, and supportive experience for authors and to curate a diverse, topical, and insightful selection of special issues. Between us we have expertise in a broad range of topics and approaches within feminist philosophy, but we recognise that this expertise is not exhaustive. We look forward to working closely with the Associate Editors to maintain the highest standard of refereeing across all areas of feminist philosophy, including those topics and approaches with which we, as an editorial team, are less familiar. We also look forward to working with the team at Cambridge University Press and with the University of Glasgow, where the journal will be housed. We would like to thank the Associate Editors and the whole team at the journal for their support in preparing our application and for placing their confidence in us as the next editorial team of Hypatia."
