Putting Feminist Logic Into Practice

A sketch of several hands raised in the air. Three of them hold blocks with logic symbols.

As the nascent subfield of feminist logic takes shape, with scholars re-exploring the history of logic, re-working the flexibility and application of logical tools, and re-envisioning the logic classroom and other spaces of outreach, the established methodologies of logical practice need to be re-examined and re-imagined for a feminist context. This project undertakes that task.

Through an initial investigation of four key questions, I will develop an accessible and practical methodology for feminist logic that is responsive to both existing practice and feminist aims.

Chapter 1: What was logic designed to do?

Chapter 2: What is the purpose of feminist logic?

Chapter 3: What do logicians currently do?

Chapter 4: How can we put feminist logic into action?
