Queering Philosophy provides a critical introduction to and
engagement with current conversations and emerging themes at the
nexus of queer theory and philosophy. Much more than a summary of
recent work, this book presents an intersectional, thematic
approach that highlights scholarship at the cutting edge of queer,
feminist, disability, and critical race theories, defines the
parameters of contemporary queer philosophy, and argues that a
queer philosophy must aim to queer philosophy. Queering Philosophy
explores the possibility of doing philosophy otherwise. In doing
so, the book explores feminist, critical race, and critical
disability theories to advance a queer feminist critique, and
challenges the unacknowledged whiteness and other forms of
marginalization that have characterized the mainstream of
philosophy and queer theory's archive. This accessible and
important book is ideal for courses in philosophy and gender,
sexuality, race and disability studies.

This exciting new Handbook offers a comprehensive overview of the
contemporary state of the field in feminist philosophy. The
editors' introduction and forty-five essays cover feminist critical
engagements with philosophy and adjacent scholarly fields, as well
as feminist approaches to current debates and crises across the
world. Authors cover topics ranging from the ways in which feminist
philosophy attends to other systems of oppression, and the
gendered, racialized, and classed assumptions embedded in
philosophical concepts, to feminist perspectives on prominent
subfields of philosophy. The first section contains chapters that
explore feminist philosophical engagement with mainstream and
marginalized histories and traditions, while the second section
parses feminist philosophy's contributions to numerous
philosophical subfields, for example metaphysics and bioethics. A
third section explores what feminist philosophy can illuminate
about crucial moral and political issues of identity, gender, the
body, autonomy, prisons, among numerous others. The Handbook
concludes with the field's engagement with other theories and
movements, including trans studies, queer theory, critical race,
theory, postcolonial theory, and decolonial theory. The volume
provides a rigorous but accessible resource for students and
scholars who are interested in feminist philosophy, and how
feminist philosophers situate their work in relation to the
philosophical mainstream and other disciplines. Above all it aims
to showcase the rich diversity of subject matter, approach, and
method among feminist philosophers.
Disability, like questions of race, gender, and class, is one of
the most provocative topics among theorists and philosophers today.
This volume, situated at the intersection of feminist theory and
disability studies, addresses questions about the nature of
embodiment, the meaning of disability, the impact of public policy
on those who have been labeled disabled, and how we define the
norms of mental and physical ability. The essays here bridge the
gap between theory and activism by illuminating structures of power
and showing how historical and cultural perceptions of the human
body have been informed by and contributed to the oppression of
women and disabled people.
Knowledge emerges from contexts, which are shaped by people's
experiences. The varied essays in Thinking the US South:
Contemporary Philosophy from Southern Perspectives demonstrate that
Southern identities, borders, and practices play an important but
unacknowledged role in ethical, political, emotional, and global
issues connected to knowledge production. Not merely one
geographical region among others, the US South is sometimes a
fantasy and other times a nightmare, but it is always a prominent
component of the American national imaginary. In connection with
the Global North and Global South, the US South provides a valuable
perspective from which to explore race, class, gender, and other
inter- and intra-American differences. The result is a fresh look
at how identity is constituted; the role of place, ancestors, and
belonging in identity formation; the impact of regional differences
on what counts as political resistance; the ways that affect and
emotional labor circulate; practices of boundary policing,
deportation, and mourning; issues of disability and slowness;
racial and other forms of suffering; and above all, the question of
whether and how doing philosophy changes when done from Southern
standpoints. Examining racist tropes, Indigenous land claims, Black
Southern philosophical perspectives, migrant labor, and more, this
incisive anthology makes clear that roots matter.
