The Society for Interdisciplinary Feminist Phenomenology is a network of more than 90 international scholars who do work in phenomenology from a feminist perspective or who use phenomenological approaches in their scholarly work. The society is based at the Department of Philosophy and supported by the Center for the Study of Women and Society at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon, USA. We hold an annual meeting in conjunction with the conference of the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy http://www.spep.org/. We also host an Institute for Feminist Phenomenology every few years, as funding allows, at which a small group of scholars gather in a beautiful setting for intensive discussion and collaboration. Members are encouraged to create their own scholars page to allow other members to get to know them and their work. The SIFP listserv allows members to stay in touch, to share news and opportunities, and to make announcements about their own recent work in feminist phenomenology.
