The Wollstonecraft Project aims to guide, facilitate, and support scholarly engagement in questions of sexual equality and freedom, as philosophically informed by realist metaphysics, virtue-based ethics, and a Wollstonecraftian understanding of rights grounded in responsibilities.
The Wollstonecraft Project provides university students and scholars at Harvard University and elsewhere with intellectual formation, professional support, and mentorship through a variety of programs and events. We also publish the online journal Fairer Disputations.
The Wollstonecraft Project is directed by Erika Bachiochi. Angela Franks is our teaching fellow. Serena Sigillito and Rose Elvidge serve as Fairer Disputations editors.
