An Expert On My Field

Today I want to talk about an expert on my field, sociology. Her name is Nancy Fraser. She was born in 1947 in Baltimore, EE.UU. She is a political philosopher, political scientist and feminist.

Her work is related with academic stuff. She had worked in different universities in Europe: Netherlands, France, Spain and Germany, but she has worked most of the time in USA. At the moment she teaches philosophy at The New School in New York. Also she writes quite a lot. My favorite book of Nancy Fraser is “Fortunes of feminism: from state-managed capitalism to neoliberal crisis”.

One of the things that I really like of her is that she has an explicit political point of view about the thing she writes and she is not de kind of intellectual that writes only for her.

Other reason about why I like her is related to the theories that she has developed. I’m not going to explain her theories, but I totally agree about the things she writes about social justice and feminism, and I really like the way she has put feminist subjects in theories that had been historically men centered.
