Speakers
Description
A paper about this event was published in the In Memoriam section of the open-access Journal of Biological Sciences "Celebrating Evelyn Fox Keller, 'The Toronto Statement'" vol.6, no.2 (2023)
This workshop celebrates and honors the work of Evelyn Fox Keller, one of the most original voices in recent history and philosophy of science, particularly on issues about biology and feminism. Her work combines an acute knowledge of science, including biology, physics and their intersection, with a distinctive critical approach to their historical and philosophical underpinnings, including methodological, linguistic and gender issues. This workshop brings together a distinguished group of speakers whose research reflects the inter and transdisciplinary reach of her work.
