Event Details
Brought to you by the Gender Studies Program at the School of Interdisciplinary Studies, the Fall 2024 installment of our ongoing Gender Lecture Series features UTD's own Dr. Katherine Davies. In her lecture, "Feminism(s) and Foster Care," Dr. Davies asks: what can feminist theorizing teach us about the foster care system in the United States? Davies shows how various feminist frameworks—feminist care ethics, Black feminism, abolition feminism, critical phenomenology—invite us to rethink how we understand what care, home, and family mean for those touched by this system.

More about our speaker: Dr. Katherine Davies is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Texas at Dallas, where she specializes in feminist theory and continental philosophy. She received her PhD in philosophy from Emory University in 2017. She is the author of the forthcoming monograph Heidegger’s Conversations: Toward a Poetic Pedagogy (State University of New York Press). Her articles have appeared in Research in Phenomenology, Arendt Studies, and Epoché: A Journal for the History of Philosophy, among other scholarly venues. She was named the National Humanities Center 2023-24 Philip L. Quinn Fellow to support her in-progress monograph currently entitled When Home Isn’t: Theorizing the Family Policing System. This talk is drawn from that work.
