Event overview
Kathryn Sophie Belle contrasts the philosophical approaches to (gender and racial) oppression in the writings of Claudia Jones and Simone de Beauvoir.
This paper puts Claudia Jones ("An End to the Neglect of the Problems of Negro Women!") in conversation with Simone de Beauvoir (The Second Sex). It pays particular attention to Jones' intersectional analysis (of Black women's experiences as simultaneously raced, classed, and gendered), juxtaposing it to de Beauvoir's analogical approach (analysing gender oppression as analogous with racial oppression).
Kathryn Sophia Belle (formerly known as Kathryn T. Gines), is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Pennsylvania State University She is the author of Hannah Arendt and the Negro Question (Indiana UP, 2014) and the co-editor (with Donna-Dale L. Marcano and Maria del Guadalupe Davidson) of Convergences: Black Feminism and Continental Philosophy (SUNY, 2010) and a founder of the journal Critical Philosophy of Race. She is the founding director of the Collegium of Black Women Philosophers.
