Queering Consequence: A Framework for Liberatory Logics

Explore a thought-provoking seminar on the intersection of gender theory and logic presented by Roy T. Cook, Ph.D., from the University of Minnesota. Delve into the concept of "genderqueer" as a gender critical kind, using Robin Dembroff's analysis as a starting point to develop a framework for logically revisionary gender critical kinds. Examine how this framework challenges the dominant classical logic and its implications for gender binary resistance. Compare and contrast various feminist approaches to logical revision, including works by Val Plumwood, Gillian Russell, Maureen Eckert, Ashley Tauchert, Rory Collins, and Becca Kosten. Investigate the technical questions that arise when developing a comprehensive account of gender critical logical kinds. This nearly two-hour seminar, part of the Orange County Inland Empire (OCIE) Seminar series in History and Philosophy of Mathematics, offers a unique perspective on the intersection of gender studies, philosophy, and mathematical logic.
