CALL FOR PAPERS
AN UNCOMFORTABLE CONVERSATION ON SOCIOBIOLOGY, EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY,
AND FEMINIST LEGAL THEORY
This is the first of a planned series of workshops that will examine the
implications of the increasing use of theories of sociobiology and evolutionary
psychology to explain persistent inequalities between men and women. The primary aim
of this initial workshop is to learn as much as possible about the diverse and confusing
field often called sociobiology and the various ways in which it implicates diverse
aspects of the feminist project.
Tentative Issues:
+ The relationship between evolutionary psychology and economics, and
between the emerging field of Law and Evolution and the established field
of Law and Economics
V+ A taxonomy of the field or fields - untangling the confusing profusion of
labels and understanding the differences between sociobiology, evolutionary
psychology, evolutionary biology, evolutionary anthropology, behavioral
biology and others
V+ Evolutionary psychology as science versus evolutionary psychology as pop
culture, and how to tell the difference
V+ Methodologies used by evolutionary psychologists and evolutionary biologists
- feminist critiques
+ Talking to or talking past - can sociobiologists and feminists have a
conversation?
V+ What are we fighting about? The surprising similarities of the worlds
described by feminists and sociobiologists
+ Law and evolution - its various arguments, its politics, and its implications
for legal feminism
