This masterclass will introduce students to a particularly new area of philosophical thought - feminist philosophy. You will examine particular case studies, targeting the problem of bias within feminist epistemology, for example: Elizabeth Lloyd's case study on Bonobo monkeys and its conclusions. What is the necessity of diversity within scientific communities? What might the cost of this diversity be?
Host: Hazel is a graduate from the University of Oxford in Philosophy and Theology and is currently reading for his Master’s, also at Oxford, this year. Hazel is passionate about Philosophy and is also a published poet!
Duration: Suggested 1-2 hours, dependent on the level of detail desired.
