Associate Professor of Philosophy Barrett Emerick recently became an editor of “Feminist Philosophy Quarterly” (FPQ). The online journal is open-access, peer-reviewed and dedicated to promoting feminist philosophical scholarship. FPQ is one of three journals that specializes in feminist philosophy.
"I'm excited to join the team, to help shepherd quality papers to publication, and to thereby contribute to the burgeoning literature in feminist philosophy," Emerick said.
Emerick will be an editor for a five-year term.
Additionally, Emerick’s article, "The Limits of the Rights to Free Thought and Expression" was republished in the new edition of Living Ethics, a highly-regarded ethics textbook published by Oxford University Press. Initially published in a 2021 issue of the Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal, Emmerick’s article rejects the claims that people have a moral right to believe and say whatever they want, such as claiming they have a right to believe racist things as long as they keep those thoughts to themselves or claiming they have a right to pursue any scholarly question they want as long as they do so with a civil tone. Emmerck’s article argues that no one has such unlimited moral rights.
