These forms of harassment constrain women’s freedom of movement, preventing them from taking advantage of opportunities at school, at work, and in poli…Read more

    The "Social Etymology" of 'Sexual Harassment'
    Journal of Social Philosophy 29 (3): 19-40. 1998.

This is true in the conduct of our profession. The practices and norms of the members of an institution constitute that institution. If we are not rigorously self-examining ourselves, especially in the conduct of our professional lives, then the discipline of philosophy, the institution of philosophy as it exists in the Wes…Read more
