Description (podcaster-provided):

New Voices is a podcast from the Extending New Narratives in the History of Philosophy Partnership, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. newnarrativesinphilosophy.net
This podcast consists of conversations about philosophers from groups that have been underrepresented and excluded in the history of European and Western philosophy: their views, what is interesting and unique about them, and how they fit in to the periods that they were apart of. We also talk about what it is actually like to learn about and promote these ideas as a philosopher today: what benefits there are, what challenges there are, and just how to get going on this work.


Themes and summary (AI-generated based on podcaster-provided show and episode descriptions):

➤ Underrepresented philosophers • Moral philosophy • Historical and cultural perspectives • Intersectionality in philosophy • Feminist contributions • Political philosophy • Educational philosophy • Abolitionism and resistance

This podcast, "New Voices in the History of Philosophy," provides an engaging platform where marginalized and underrepresented philosophical figures are brought into focus. Through a series of interviews with scholars, each episode is a deep dive into the exploration of lesser-known philosophers, particularly those from groups historically excluded from traditional narratives in European and Western philosophy. The content spans various time periods and global regions, highlighting the work of women philosophers, thinkers from racial and geographic minorities, and other figures whose contributions are often overlooked.

Listeners can expect discussions on the intersection of philosophy with literature, politics, and education. The podcast frequently examines how philosophy connects with broader cultural and social paradigms, such as abolitionist movements, feminist critiques, and philosophical traditions from non-Western regions. A recurring theme is the exploration of moral and political thought, encompassing issues like slavery, rights, race, and identity. The podcast also delves into how these philosophical ideas are relevant today and the challenges of incorporating them into modern academic discourse.

Episodes often explore the philosophical ideas and societal impacts of thinkers such as Catharine Trotter Cockburn, Ottobah Cugoano, and Nísia Floresta Brasileira Augusta, among others. The podcast is also attentive to methodological approaches to philosophy, advocating for the recognition of diverse perspectives and the reclamation of voices drowned out by mainstream philosophical histories. Through engaging dialogues, the podcast highlights the richness of global philosophical thought and encourages a broader understanding of philosophy as a multifaceted and inclusive field.
