This episode is a seminar by Associate Professor Janice Richardson from the faculty of Law at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. Janice is the author of the book The classic social contractarians: Critical Perspectives From Contemporary Feminist Philosophy and Law, and her title for the seminar was “Feminist Perspectives on Social Contract Theory”. It’s well worth listening to the end of the presentation, for a fascinating exchange with A/Prof Karen Green who has also been working on these themes for many years. The seminar took place on 21 May 2021, and was hosted by Christopher Watkin (Monash University), as part of the Australian Research Council funded Future Fellowship project "Rewriting the Social Contract: Technology, Ecology, Extremism". The Social Contract Research Podcast is an initiative of the Social Contract Research Network.
