Solidarity and Social Justice: The Political Life and Writings of Simone de Beauvoir
The University of Wisconsin, Superior is pleased to host the 23rd Simone de Beauvoir Society Conference.
Co-sponsors: UWS Department of Social Inquiry, UWS Continuing Education
For more information contact: Dr Sarah LaChance Adams slachanc@uwsuper.edu
This conference aims to consider Beauvoir's political engagements -- in action and thought -- as providing philosophical and political resources for thinking, living, and enacting solidarity and social justice. Beauvoir's very life and work might complicate how we understand the political domain, what social justice is, and what it means to realize solidarity. Indeed, her theoretical and literary writings, and her memoirs all indicate that political subjects are fundamentally ambiguous.
Keynote speaker: Sonia Kruks, Robert S. Danforth Professor of Politics at Oberlin College, author of "Simone de Beauvoir and the Politics of Ambiguity" (2012).
