The Hypatia team is saddened to learn of the recent passing of Prof. Sandra Harding (born 1935), a founding associate editor of the journal. As her obituary notes, she was “a global trailblazer in feminist and postcolonial philosophy, critical science and technology studies, analysis and activism… internationally acclaimed for her pioneering development of “standpoint theory,” which apprehended science as a contextualized and culturally embedded undertaking, in sharp distinction to the conventional view of science as neutral and objective.” The Nonprofit Board of Hypatiatogether with the Society for Women in Philosophy (SWIP, Pacific Division) is facilitating a collection in honour of Prof. Harding’s memory; funds will provide resources to support scholarly projects–such as conferences, travel grants, and publications–in the research areas to which Prof. Harding devoted her career.
