I work on women's moral and political philosophy. I've written about women doing virtue ethics in the 12th, 15th, 17th and 18th century; Mary Wollstonecraft; and women's political thought during the French Revolution. I'm now looking at women's philosophical writings on the home from Antiquity to the 20th century. Myriam Bernier
Mes recherches porte sur la question du problème philosophique de l'athée vertueux : Est-il possible pour un athée d'être vertueux, c'est-à-dire de dépasser son égoïsme pour se préoccuper de l'intérêt général, ou, n'ayant aucune crainte d'une punition après la mort, ne va-t-il pas faire de la satisfaction de ses plaisirs son but suprême? J'étudie comment cette question est née au XVIIème siècle en France, via l'apparition des libertins qui sont les premiers à tenter de détacher la morale de la religion : les apologistes, leur ont opposés pour défendre au contraire l'absolue nécessité de la religion pour parvenir à la vertu. Je veux ensuite montrer comment cette question qui donc était davantage abordée comme un problème anthropologique au XVIIe (la question est celle de la nature humaine : l'homme peut-il faire le bien sans la grâce?) est devenue politique au XVIIIe (la question devenant : les citoyens ont-ils besoin d'une religion pour dépasser leur égoïsme et penser à l'intérêt général, donc pour bien voter?) Dans mes recherches, les femmes philosophes ont une grande importance. D'abord parce qu'en tant que femmes, elles sont extrêmement concernées par ces débats : l'Église régit encore plus la conduite des femmes que celles des hommes, et surtout libertins comme apologistes ne définissent pas la vertu attendue des femmes de la même manière que celle des hommes. J'étudie donc tout particulièrement Ninon de Lenclos, dont il reste très peu d'écrits mais autour de laquelle s'est cristallisé un véritable mythe : celui d'une femme se revendiquant d'une morale d'homme, celui d'une femme prônant la même morale pour les deux sexes. Ninon de Lenclos ne défend donc pas seulement la possibilité pour un athée d'être vertueux, elle défend également que cette vertu soit la même pour les femmes et les hommes. Je m'intéresse également à d'autres femmes qui ont joué un rôle dans ces débats autour de l'athée vertueux, comme Madame Deshoulières. Par ailleurs, j'ai écrit trois articles sur trois femmes philosophes (« Jacqueline Pascal, le courage de la vérité », « Madame Guyon, la liberté dans l'esclavage », « Isabelle de Charrière, l'exigence morale dans le scepticisme ») pour une anthologie de textes de femmes philosophes dirigée par Anne-Lise Rey à paraître bientôt : Anne-Lise REY (dir.), Philosophies : féminin pluriel. Anthologie des femmes philosophes, Classiques Garnier, (à paraître). Mathilde Bombart
A former student of the Ecole Normale Supérieure, I am associate professor at the University of Lyon. I specialize in the study of French 17th-Century Literature, with a focus on the history of polemical writings, especially in their relationship to readers. My latest research aims at introducing more book history and material bibliography in the study of literary history, with two main fields: collections and sammelband of “mazarinades”, pamphlets produced during the political crisis of the Fronde (1649-1652); and “keyed books” or “à clef” books, a type of book that allows to study how editorial paratexts attempts to shape the understanding of texts and how readers react to it (monograph under review for publication : Le Secret de l’Oeuvre. Lecture et Ecriture à Clef dans la France de l’Ancien Régime). This research has led me to study the place given to women in the narration of literary history, with a focus on the category of "precieuse" as it has been shaped in the 19th c. to talk about female thinkers and authors.

Deborah Boyle
Deborah Boyle is currently working on preparing a modern, abridged version of Cavendish's Philosophical Letters to make this important work more accessible for use in the classroom. She is also writing Mary Shepherd: A Guide for a new series by Oxford University Press. Deborah Brown
Professor Brown is a specialist in early modern philosophy, particularly, the work of René Descartes. As part of this partnership project, she is working on the reception of Cartesian metaphysics and moral psychology among feminists of the early modern period who used Descartes’ emphasis on the rational will, autonomy and self-sufficiency, and the fundamental recognition of moral equality built into Cartesian ethics, to ground arguments for women’s moral equality with men. Early modern feminists to be examined include inter alia Mary Astell, Sophia and Poulaine de la Barre. She is a collaborator with Jacqueline Broad and Marguerite Deslauriers on an (2019-2021) Australian Research Council Discovery project, The Philosophical Foundations of Women’s Rights: A New History, 1600-1750.

Sara Heinämaa
Academy professor Sara Heinämaa's research project Marginalization and Experience: Phenomenological Analyses of Normality and Abnormality (MEPA) provides a phenomenological account of experiential normality and normativity for the purposes of theorizing social marginalization. Contemporary phenomenology of embodiment and intersubjectivity offers excellent starting points for such an account. By systematically developing its conceptual and methodological arsenal, the project builds a new theoretical framework that allows us to understand how experiences of normality and abnormality function in processes of social exclusion/inclusion and marginalization/valorization.

L-PTessa Lacerda
Mon projet de recherche actuel, «Dialogues épistolaires: une réflexion sur le canon philosophique», consiste à réfléchir sur le canon philosophique et l'inclusion de figures féminines dans l'Histoire de la Philosophie à partir de l'analyse de la correspondance entre Sophie Charlotte, reine de Prusse, et Leibniz . Si la plupart des lettres écrites par Sophie Charlotte ont été brûlées au moment de sa mort, il nous reste encore quelques courtes lettres, en plus des longues réponses de Leibniz. Nous voudrions nous consacrer à l'étude de cette correspondance pour examiner si, outre le rôle incontestable de promotrice de la philosophie et de la science, on peut dire que Sophie Charlotte est aussi l'auteur d'une réflexion philosophique.

Ulysses Pinheiro
Ulysses Pinheiro is Professor of Philosophy at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. His research within the New Narratives Project is divided into two fronts articulated with each other, both relating to gender and race studies. Firstly, it will investigate the conditions for the production and for the silencing of philosophical discourses elaborated by marginalized groups in Brazilian colonial period, by taking Rosa Egipcíaca's (affranchised slave, 1719 - 1778) mystical thought as a case study. Secondly, it will investigate the changes that these conditions underwent in post-colonial modernity, studying the trajectory of Mário de Andrade (Afro-Latin American writer and folklore scholar, 1893-1945, recently designated by researchers as bi- or homosexual), particularly his brief career as a professor of Philosophy of Art at the University of Federal District in the 1930s.

Claire Schwartz
Gisele Secco
My research focuses on Nísia Floresta (1810-1885), especially her first work (published in 1822), a translation of one of the so-called Sophia's pamphlets. This book is still considered by many as a version of Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Women. In analyzing the translation and its reverberations in the Opúsculo humanitário, I intend to show how Floresta's philosophy of education is at the crossroads between the tradition of logical feminism and the rhetorical tradition of the women worthies. I am also researching on Ayda Ignez Arruda, a Brazilian women logician and philosopher of logic. Mitieli Seixas
Mitieli Seixas is Assistant Professor at the Philosophy Department (Universidade Federal de Santa Maria/UFSM). She received a PhD in Philosophy from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul/UFRGS in 2016).

Her 2011 book examines the implications of Spinoza's denial of human exceptionalism for ethics and politics, with consideration of arguments in feminist thought and critical race theory. She is currently undertaking a SSHRC-funded research project on Spinoza and Servitude. She interested in how his analyses of human servitude, bondage, and slavery, central to both his ethics and politics, can be understood in relationship to other models. In particular, how do Spinoza's philosophical and political conceptions of servitude interact with the notions of his contemporaries objecting to the enslavement of African and Indigenous peoples or to the domination of women? Alison Simmons
Alison Simmons works primarily on early modern theories of mind. Although her research has focused on Descartes and Malebranche, she is currently working on related themes in Conway and Cavendish. Alison Stone

More recently, she has started to investigate the role of sentiment in French 18th century theories of cognition and intersubjective processes of knowledge acquisition. One of the aims of this project is to understand better in which way less known French writers contributed to the Scottish debate on sympathy and affective communication. Rachael Wiseman
With Dr Clare Mac Cumhaill, I direct www.womeninparenthesis.co.uk, which focuses on the c20th female philosophers, G. E. M. Anscombe, Philippa Foot, Mary Midgley and Iris Murdoch. We are using their story (and their philosophy) to challenge dominant male-centric narratives in the history of analytic philosophy. Ana Miriam Wuensch
A professor of philosophy at the University of Brasilia, Dr Wuensch's research is currently focused on thinking about the human condition with women and from the perspective of women authors unthinkable by Western Philosophy is a challenge to new narratives. Christine de Pizan is just one of many cases. In this sense, the scope of our research seeks to articulate two perspectives: a consideration of the natal being that we are (Hannah Arendt and María Zambrano) on the one hand, and the lived experience, one's own and that of others, localized and temporal, on the other hand. Thus, one step in this direction is to examine the contributions of 19th-century Brazilian literati such as Nísia Floresta and Maria Firmina dos Reis, and 20th-century scientists like as Helena Antipoff and Nise da Silveira, to articulate the experience lived with the thought life.
