thinking bodies: a feminist philosophy podcast
thinking bodies is a feminist philosophy podcast for newcomers and lifelong learners of feminist philosophy. Drs Anna Mudde and Kristin Rodier crowd source voice clips from feminist philosophers (broadly construed) and use them to bring concepts to life. We are doing philosophy conversations differently, one episode at a time.
