In an article published in Hypatia <\/a>almost two decades ago, Charlene Haddock Seigfried, asked, \u201cWhere are all the Pragmatist Feminists?\u201d Seigfried found it curious that feminists had not integrated the intellectual tradition of the United States into their thinking as well as why American pragmatists had failed to engage feminism in a more meaningful manner despite the obvious points of contact between the two branches of thought.\u00a0 Her question remains valid today.<\/p>\n

Feminist pragmatist scholarship remains a marginalized, albeit robust, area of study.\u00a0 What has occurred in the intervening two decades is the important feminist work of recovery.\u00a0 In particular, through the publication of a number of books and articles, the writing of Jane Addams has been rediscovered as a classical American site of pragmatist philosophy.\u00a0 Although engaging Addams has been intellectually fruitful, if feminist and pragmatism is to be a viable intellectual endeavor, its connection to contemporary thought, policy, and action will have to more explicitly emerge.\u00a0 One way to frame the relationship between feminism and pragmatism is in their common commitments such as the importance of context and experience, the relationship of politics and values and the production of knowledge and metaphysics, and the need for diversity and thus dialogue among differently situated groups.\u00a0 Contemporary Feminist Pragmatism offers the next step in this intellectual journey as site for engaging the intersection of these two dynamic fields of thought.<\/p>\n

Contemporary Feminist Pragmatism is an interdisciplinary collection of original chapters that explores the present implications of feminism and pragmatism for theory, policy, and action.\u00a0 Chapters in this volume can take a variety of forms including the drawing of contemporary inference from the work of classical American feminist pragmatist thinkers such as Addams, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Emily Greene Balch, Mary Whiton Calkins, Mary Parker Follett, and Ida B. Wells.\u00a0 Other chapters may simply wish to work with the ideas of feminist pragmatism and apply them to current work being done in ethics, epistemology, metaphysics, or social philosophy.\u00a0 Case studies or policy analysis may also frame chapters for this volume.\u00a0 Because the anthology is intended for an interdisciplinary audience, we ask that authors address their contributions to an intellectual but not specialized audience.\u00a0 Topics may include (but are not limited to): Ethical theory;\u00a0 Epistemology; Social & Political Philosophy; Intersectionality; Utopian Thinking; Philosophy of religion; Social policy; Education theory\/practice; The multicultural subject; Transnational feminism; Cosmopolitanism; Globalization; Feminist theory; Business Ethics; Sexualities Studies; Philosophy of science; Community organizing; Peace Studies.<\/p>\n

The editors of Contemporary Feminist Pragmatism are Maurice Hamington, Associate Professor of Women\u2019s Studies and Philosophy and Director of the Institute for Women\u2019s Studies and Services at Metropolitan State College of Denver, and Celia Bardwell-Jones, Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Women\u2019s Studies, Towson University.<\/p>\n
