Teaching and Research Areas

History of Women Philosophers and Scientists

The Teaching and Research Area "History of Women Philosophers" headed by Hagengruber aims at renewing the long-lasting tradition of women philosophers. Ruth Hagengruber started her lecture "2600 Years History of Women Philosophers" in 2011. In 2016, she founded the research project Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists. In this capacity, she awards the Elisabeth of Bohemia Prize for the recognition of women in the history of philosophy since 2018[4].

EcoTechGender

In 2006, Hagengruber founded the Teaching and Research Area: EcoTechGender[5]on the social and ethical implications of artificial intelligence[6].She defines economics, technology and gender as the challenging and decisive factors of the future. "EcoTechGender" at the University of Paderborn is dedicated to the philosophical analysis of the relation between these topics.

Philosophy in the Media

With the project “Philosophy in the Media“ the philosophy department in Paderborn breaks new grounds. It was launched by Hagengruber (philosophy), Gerhard E. Ortner (dramatic staging), Ulrich Lettermann (music), and Bernhard Koch (filming) to present women philosophers’ thoughts via student performances to the wider public. These performances feature women philosophers and scientists including Emilie du Châtelet (1706-1749), Ada Lovelace and Elizabeth of Bohemia (1618-1680). The past event “Philosophy On Stage” focused on Elizabeth of Bohemia’s influence on René Descartes. In December 2014, the project won the Advancement Award for Innovation and Quality in Teaching 2014 of the University of Paderborn.
