Ann Garry is an American feminist philosopher. She is professor of philosophy,emerita,at California State University,Los Angeles (CSULA). [1] [2] While at CSULA,Garry was the founding director of the Center for the Study of Genders and Sexualities,and also served several terms as the chair of the Department of Philosophy. [2] She has also held several visiting appointments,including serving as the Humphrey Chair of Feminist Philosophy at the University of Waterloo [2] and Fulbright lectureships at the University of Tokyo and Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest. Although Garry no longer teaches full-time,she continues to work with graduate students. [3]
Garry received her bachelor's degree from Monmouth College in 1965,graduating magna cum laude. [4] She went on to receive a master's degree from the University of Chicago in 1966,and a PhD in Philosophy with a dissertation focused on visualizing from the University of Maryland in 1970. [4]
Garry accepted a position as assistant professor of philosophy at CSULA in 1969,before being promoted to associate professor in 1977,and full Professor in 1983 [4] She is now professor emerita. [4] While a professor at CSULA,Garry served the department in a variety of roles,including acting as department chair for several terms across multiple decades. [4]
Besides her permanent academic appointments,Garry has served as a Visiting assistant professor of philosophy at UCLA in the Spring semester of 1977,and served as a Visiting associate professor of philosophy at the University of Southern California in the fall of 1978,and 1979 (where she would later serve as a visiting full Professor of Philosophy in 1988.) [4] Garry has also served eight terms as a visiting full Professor of Philosophy at UCLA. [4]
Besides for her academic appointments,Garry has contributed to her field in a variety of important ways,including being one of the founders of Hypatia:A Journal of Feminist Philosophy, [5] and a founder of the Society for Women in Philosophy,Pacific Division. [2] She also serves as editor for topics related to feminist philosophy for both the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy and PhilPapers. [2]
Garry began her graduate studies during the heyday of anglophone analytic philosophy,and many of her original research interests reflect that. [1] Her original focuses included epistemology,analytic metaphysics,philosophy of language,etc. [1] As the New Left and the women's movement began to impact academia,Garry's research interests focused on feminism,and at re-examining traditional philosophy through a feminist point of view. [4] Her current interests focus on intersectionality,the way in which various systems of oppression and privilege are fundamentally intertwined and shape each other. [1] Garry was an early entrant in to the field of feminist philosophy,and was responsible for a significant amount of foundational work in the field,including the development of early courses in feminist philosophy,and at early attempts at integrating feminist philosophy into other philosophical areas. [2] Garry was also one of the first philosophers to question whether pornography was a significant cause of gender-based violence. [6]
Garry has edited one anthology,Women,Knowledge,and Reality:Explorations in Feminist Philosophy,which is a collection of 25 essays intended to highlight the ways in which feminist philosophy (and feminist philosophers) engage,critique,and challenge traditional fields of philosophy across the board. [7] The anthology has multiple editions,including a Russian translation. [4] Garry collaborated with fellow philosophers Serene Khader and Alison Stone on a volume titled Routledge Companion to Feminist Philosophy,published in 2017. [8] Garry has also published a large number of refereed book chapters,journal articles,and reviews,primarily dealing with topics related to feminism,intersectionality,philosophical and feminist methods,and sex and gender.
