Sally Haslanger

Sally Haslanger is Ford Professor of Philosophy and Women’s and Gender Studies.

She has published in metaphysics, epistemology, feminist theory, and critical race theory.  Broadly speaking, her work links issues of social justice with contemporary work in epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of language, and philosophy of mind. A collection of her papers that represent this effort over twenty years was collected in Resisting Reality: Social Construction and Social Critique (Oxford 2012), and it received the Joseph B. Gittler award for outstanding work in philosophy of the social sciences. She has co-edited three books that further reflect the breadth of her interests: with Elizabeth Hackett, Theorizing Feminisms: A Reader (Oxford 2005); with Charlotte Witt, Adoption Matters: Philosophical and Feminist Essays (Cornell 2005); with Roxanne Marie Kurtz, Persistence: Contemporary Readings (MIT Press 2006).
