Bio/Description

Annette Martín is an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Illinois Chicago. Her research focuses on oppression from an intersectional and critical theoretical perspective. She is interested in what oppression is, how we explain oppression, and how oppressive social structures shape our evidence, attention, and identities. In recent work (“Intersectionality without Fragmentation” in Ethics), she has argued that we can conceptualize oppression without needing a metaphysical account of groups like women. At UCHV, she will be working on a series of papers that expand on this work, arguing that we should reject the standard, group-based view of oppression in favor of an intersectional, positional view, while also developing an inclusive conception of gender identity that is influenced, but not determined by, oppressive gender structures.
