Research networks on early modern philosophers

Picture
Although research on early modern women philosophers is still fairly recent - only a few decades! - there is an extensive and productive research community. Below are links to some of the larger hubs of researchers working on these exciting and historically overlooked philosophers.
  • New Narratives in the History of Philosophy - link
  • The Center for New Narratives in Philosophy - link
  • Project Vox - link
  • Feminist History of Philosophy - link
  • History of Women Philosophers and Scientists - link
And, in shameless self-promotion, some friends and fellow Astell researchers and I started the Friends of Mary Astell, an APA-affiliated group focused on Astell scholarship. You can check out our upcoming events here.
