In this edition, the winter school on Feminism and Motherhood will reflect on the complicated but philosophically rich relation between feminism and motherhood. Together with you, we will look for philosophical frameworks and conceptual tools to think through experiences and practices related to motherhood. At the same time, we will also explore whether practices of mothering (particularly more recent or overlooked ones) can challenge long-held traditional philosophical views.

The programme consists of an exciting mix of interdisciplinary lectures, close reading sessions, and group discussions. After a week of philosophising about contemporary motherhood and mothering with your peers and teachers, you will leave this winter school with fresh insights and novel questions to explore in your own research and daily life.

The winter school is organised by Emma Moormann, Joke Struyf and Katrien Schaubroeck (Philosophy Department, University of Antwerp).
