Women in philosophy and physics seminar

Organizers: Betti Hartmann (UCL) and Carla Schriever (University of Oldenburg, Germany)

This seminar is conducted joinly by a philosopher (Carla Schriever) and a theoretical physicist/applied mathematician (Betti Hartmann) and its aim is to broaden the knowledge about philosophy and physics and how they intertwine using exemplarily the contributions of female philosophers and physicists/mathematicians from antiquity to modern times. Moreover, it will be demonstrated how the paths of life of women have been and are still influenced by social norms and how women overcame these norms and became role models for both their contemporaries as well as future generations.
