The session was opened by Dr. Gina Opiniano and her students' videos. She invited the President of the Society, Dr. Qrescent Mali Mason, to introduce this session and present the International Simone de Beauvoir Society. Our President invite you to read her letter, recently published in Simone de Beauvoir Studies. Marine Rouch, communication coordinator, then presented how you can follow the Society's activities. 

The rest of the session was dedicated to "Beauvoir, Sexism & Racism". Two speakers brilliantly shared their views on this topic: 

- Dr. Kathryn Sophia Belle presented a talk titled "Beauvoir and Belle: Critical Engagements with Simone de Beauvoir's 
The Second Sex". Kathryn is an American Philosopher and Associate Professor of Philosophy at Pennsylvania State University. Her areas of interest include Black Feminism, Black feminist philosophy and critical theory of race. She wrote groundbreaking articles on Beauvoir and race. Kathryn kindly shared her work with us. You can read one her article HERE.


- Mickaëlle Provost talked about "America Day by Day and the Phenomenology of Racial Oppression". She is a French PhD Candidate in Philosophy. She is currently working on the analogy racism/sexism from a comparison between R. Wright and Beauvoir. Her PhD dissertation is titled "Une Phénoménologie des résistances : de l'expérience de l'oppression à l'expérimentation" ("A Phenomenology of Resistance: From the Experience of Oppression to Experimentation"). Mickaëlle kindly shared the references of her talk.

The session was moderated by Dr. T Storm Heter, Professor of Philosophy at East Stroudsburg University, PA. He is a specialist of Existentialism and is currently writing a book on "The Problem of White Listening". He also recently wrote a piece on Beauvoir's "white problem".

The session was concluded by Dr. Noelle Leslie Dela Cruz's inspiring response to the talks. Noelle is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at De La Salle University (Manila, The Philippines) and her areas of interest include Beauvoir, race, phenomenology and feminism. Noelle kindly shared with us her wonderful piece.
