There is a lot of work going on around the world that is not officially part of this SSHRC PDG project. However, we very much want to build the research networks, coordinate efforts and so help build a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. This page points to the projects we are currently aware of. As you can see, we are most aware of folks working on rehabilitating women thinkers of the period, but we would be very interested in projects doing similar work for other non-canonical figures or groups of figures in the history of philosophy, for instance, thinkers in the Islamic tradition, European thinkers of African origin, Indian or Chinese philosophical influences on the European tradition, and so on. Please do not hesitate to contact us to have yours included!

Querelle.caMarguerite Deslauriers, a leader of the New Narratives project, has been working with others to trace early arguments for equality in the 16th and 17th century. This web-site is devoted to the works of authors who contributed to the pro-woman side of the querelle des femmes. The querelle was a debate about the nature and worth of women that unfolded in Europe from the medieval to the early modern period. This site focuses on the 16th and 17th centuries, and on authors in Italy and France — both women and men — who circulated some of the earliest feminist arguments.
