Jordan Pascoe is Professor of Philosophy at Manhattan College with honorary appointments in Women and Gender Studies and Critical Race and Ethnicity Studies. Along with her professorial duties, Pascoe has held leadership positions at Manhattan College since 2015, when she became both the Director of the Center for Ethics and the College’s pre-law advisor. In 2018, Pascoe left the Center for Ethics to work with students to found and direct a new Women and Gender Center on campus. Under her leadership, the Women and Gender Resource Center became the first student-led space on campus, offering faculty mentorship of student scholarship, student-led programming and resources, and a range of student-initiated engagement projects that transformed campus policy. Through the Center, Pascoe organized and facilitated more than 125 on-campus events over three years and founded and advised both a student summer fellowship program and an internship program through which students developed resources and advocacy programs. Since departing the Center in 2022, Pascoe has served as the Director of both the Labor Studies Program and the Women and Gender Studies Program at Manhattan College.

Pascoe’s scholarly work explores moral, social, and political philosophy across a number of domains, each dealing with philosophy of race as well as decolonial and feminist philosophy. Her work in ethical theory, philosophy of race, and feminist philosophy is focused on three main areas: Kantian philosophy, sexual and reproductive ethics, and the ethics and politics of disaster. All three strands of her work are informed by intersectional feminist and decolonial approaches and draw on non-Western philosophical frameworks. As is common in philosophy, through her assistant and associate years, she produced primarily scholarly articles. She has published extensively in all her areas of interest, including in Kant journals, such as Kantian Review and Estudos Kantianos; in feminist journals, such as Feminist Philosophy Quarterly and Women’s Studies Quarterly; in general philosophy journals, such as Southern Journal of Philosophy and Journal of Social Philosophy; in journals focusing on public policy, such as the Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal and Health Securities; and in such important anthologies as Kant’s Feyerabend Lectures: A Critical Guide (ed. F. Rauscher) and The Philosophy of Sex and Love (ed. M. Clancy & C. Hay). She recently published her first monograph—Kant’s Theory of Labour (Cambridge University Press 2022)—and together with Mitch Stripling, she has forthcoming a second book on the philosophy of disasters entitled The Epistemology of Disasters and Social Change: Pandemics, Protests, and Possibilities (Rowman Littlefield 2024).

Her work in feminist philosophy has been recognized through her appointment as Associate Chair of the American Philosophical Association’s Committee on Women and Gender in Philosophy, her leadership as Co-Director of the Society for the Philosophy of Sex and Love, her role as co-author for the “Feminist Ethics” entry in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, which is the most prestigious encyclopedia in philosophy worldwide. Her research leadership in Kant studies is reflected in her appointment to the Editorial Board of Estudos Kantianos and her advisory role for Kantian Review on their special editions on “Kant and Marx” and “Radicalizing Kant.” Her impressive mentoring abilities are reflected in her invitation to become a founding member of the Pariah Manuscript Workshop, where she still participates in monthly sessions designed to support faculty of all levels to develop book-length manuscripts.
