Bio:

Dr. Stone-Mediatore specializes in the philosophy of Hannah Arendt, feminist epistemology, and theories of violence and nonviolence. Having turned to philosophy after several years of human rights and public interest work, she is particularly interested in drawing on philosophical texts to throw light on contemporary problems. Her book, Reading Across Borders: Storytelling and Knowledges of Resistance (Palgrave Macmillan), inspired the theme for the 2004 New Jersey Project on Inclusive Scholarship and Pedagogy, at which she was the keynote speaker. Her other recent publications include “Challenging Academic Norms: An Epistemology for Feminist and Multicultural Classrooms” (The NWSA Journal), “Women’s Rights and Cultural Differences,” (Studies in Practical Philosophy), "Examined Lives in the Shadow of Iraq” (The Humanist), and “Military Families Speak Out and the Challenge to War Epistemology” (Bridges). She teaches courses in Social & Political Philosophy, Ethics, Environmental Ethics, Feminist Philosophy, Introduction to Philosophy, Critical Thinking, and topical courses such as Global Ethics and Philosophies of Violence and Nonviolence.
