Jane Dryden
Biography
Dr. Jane Dryden received her PhD at Fordham University in 2008, after completing her BA at the University of Toronto (University College) in 2002. Her dissertation worked to connect feminist work on relational autonomy with the ideas of freedom and interdependency found in German Idealism (Fichte and Hegel). Her research interests include 19th century German philosophy, feminist philosophy, and philosophy of disability. Teaching interests include these, and also aesthetics, biomedical ethics, and the history of philosophy in general.
