Welcome

A little about us

New Narratives in the History of Philosophy aims to develop new narratives of our philosophical past that centrally include women thinkers, and thereby to reconfigure, enrich and reinvigorate the philosophical canon.  Doing this involves lots of work, some of which is reflected in the  projects found on this website. We are creating research tools including an open access website and a comprehensive annotated bibliography of primary sources; developing and shaping curricular resources to enrich the teaching of the history of philosophy; building an international network of scholars, students and academic institutions supporting research on non-canonical philosophers; and increasing awareness among the general public of long neglected aspects of our intellectual past.  

 Our efforts are supported with a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) Partnership Development Grant.
