Bonnie Mann

Bonnie J. Mann is an American philosopher and professor of philosophy at the University of Oregon. She is known for her expertise on feminist philosophy. She is co-editor of ''Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy''.

A central claim of her work is that phenomenology, in order to be feminist, must be critical, i.e. it must depart from classical phenomenological practice. Only critical phenomenology is capable of thematizing and exploring the basic structures of the political and material world in their entanglement with systematic forms of historical injustice. After 9/11, she developed the notion of "sovereign masculinity" as a way of thematizing the link between misogyny and US nationalism. Provided by Wikipedia
