Here
I am with Marianne Janack
(middle) and Nancy McHugh. Marianne
shares my admiration of Richard
Rorty's
work. In fact her edited collection, Feminist
Interpretations of
Rorty, including a contribution from me, will be out in the fall
of
2009.

Here's
the feminist
blogger-extraordinaire, Evelyn Brister, with Sharon Crasnow,
both alums of the 2003
NEH seminar in Pittsburgh. Can you guess what colour Sharon's hair
will be at the next FEMMSS? It's pretty exciting :)

I am trying to convince
my colleagues that values are a matter of fact (!)

At
the panel
session dedicated to my book Beyond Epistemology, here I am with
four
brilliant
commentators, Moira Howes, Elizabeth (Libby) Potter, Catherine (Cate)
Hundleby (the
organiser of the session), and Nancy McHugh (seated).

Feb. 8-10, 2007, in Tempe, AZ
| At the opening plenary session, here I am
with the ever-fabulous Alison Wylie (now editor of Hypatia) on my right, and on my left, amazing philosopher by
day, carpenter by night, Libby Potter!
|
|
At Sharon Crasnow's session, we have L-R:
Someone being strangled, perhaps by Lisa "I hate getting my picture
taken" Heldke, followed by Peg O'Connor and Marianne Janack :)
|
|
At
the conference banquet, here's Alison with the always generous and
incredibly prolific (!) Sandra Harding.
|
|
Fellow Canuck, Edrie Sobstyl,
Sharon Crasnow (with black hair - stunning!), and me, squeezed into a
booth on the last night.
|
|
A trio of Canucks - me, Edrie and
Cate Hundleby - even though they hate it, I make us pose like this
every time we get together (see below for earlier shots - Oh yes I did!)

first FEMMSS conference Fall 2004

![]() At the Feminism/Naturalism
conference in St. Louis, Fall 1999. (Look how cute we were back then - almost 10 year ago as of this writing! and me with bare arms! Who do I think I am? Michelle Obama?) |

This
is Lisa Johnson, Southern belle, queer epistemologist, pied piper of
young philosophers, bath-house entrepeneur. We are now bffs. Buy her
book: Jane
Sexes It Up: True Confessions of Feminist Desire. (Feminist
desire? Is there really such a thing? Who knew?!)

Here
is Lisa (in the orange, of course) with one of her students to her left
(Lindsay Harris, who presented on the opening day). Being kissed is the
session chair, Yvonne Ivory. The kissee is one of the session
presenters, Stacey Haney. These four are all from the University of
South Carolina, Upstate - you might think that the USCU grrrrrlz were
taking over, but hovering above is sister Canuck, Alexis Shotwell
- this year we Canucks were ubiquitous.
More on the grrrrrrlz from the True North, Strong and Free, below.

Here's
Sarah Richardson - she's a blur because she is always moving - she's
one to watch, having just graduated from Stanford and now headed to U
Mass. She wins best paper title for "Sexing the X: How the X became the
female chromosome."
