As part of its third annual Environmental Ethics Institute in early August of 2008, the Center for Ethics at the University of Montana is pleased to host leading ecofeminist scholar and activist Karen Warren. Warren will teach a two day workshop for scholars, students, professionals, and interested citizens on issues of gender and environment. Warren is perhaps the most well-known ecofeminist practicing in the United States today and author of numerous books and articles including Ecofeminist Philosophy: A Western Perspective on What it Is and Why it Matters (Rowman and Littlefield, 2000), Ecofeminism: Women, Culture, and Nature (Indiana University Press, 1997), Ecological Feminist Philosophies (Indiana University Press, 1996), and the classic article "The Power and Promise of Ecological Feminism."  In addition to these works in ecofeminism, Warren is completing a book titled Gendering the History of Western Philosophy, the first ever text on western philosophy from a feminist perspective.  Warren will give an evening public lecture on her latest work on Thursday, July 31st.
