The project
The Beauvoir Webinar Series began in 2020 and was conceived out of the interest of Beauvoir scholars whose intention is to make present the continuous discourse on Beauvoir, her life, works, philosophy, influence even at the time of crisis.

​While the pandemic has negatively impacted the lives of many people all over the world, this project anchors on the advantage of the capacity to communicate with the people all over the world to make possible the continual learning about life. 

In recognition of the fact that there is still much to be learned from Beauvoir, the Beauvoir Webinar Series will focus on the various facets of her philosophy to be shared by invited speakers and/or commentators. We also work closely with the journal ​Simone de Beauvoir Studies: many sessions are dedicated to the journal's articles and special issues.  

Origins
The first session was conceived by Dr. Gina Opiniano (University of Santo Tomas) with the help of Dr. Marine Rouch (University of Toulouse). As the Coordinator of Communications of the International SdB Society, Marine has worked to make the series a major and regular online event of the Society. Gina and Marine now work together to consolidate our community through the Beauvoir Webinar Series.
