Teaching Women Philosophers

Ruth Hagengruber is a German philosopher, currently professor and head of philosophy at the University of Paderborn. She specialises in the history of women philosophers as well as philosophy of economics and computer science and is a specialist on Émilie Du Châtelet. Hagengruber is the director of the Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists and founder of the research area EcoTechGender. She invented the Libori Summer School and is the creator of the Encyclopedia of Concise Concepts by Women Philosophers, for which she holds the position of editor in chief together with Mary Ellen Waithe. Hagengruber's research is dedicated to the revision of a patriarchal history, specially to the rediscovery of women's alternative contributions to the history of philosophy and the history of economics, focusing on circle and universality based economics as an approach of inclusive economic ethics. She published on value theory in Feminist Economics and reflects on technical design from a feminist (and inclusive) point of view, such as autonomous driving, a different approach to labour, and a profound acknowledgment of creative skills ideas there.
