Falguni A. Sheth Title: Associate Professor of Philosophy and Political Theory Extension: 5388 Office: FPH 202 Email: fsheth@hampshire.edu Professor Sheth is on leave during the Fall 2012 term.

Biography: Falguni A. Sheth, visiting assistant professor of philosophy and political theory, received a B.A. in Rhetoric from the University of California, Berkeley, and her M.A. and Ph.D. in philosophy from the New School for Social Research. Her dissertation, entitled "Labor, Work, and Citizenship," argues that the meaning of labor is closely tied to various normative conceptions of political and social citizenship. She grounds this argument using the philosophical writings of Hegel, Marx, Arendt, and Eva Kittay. Her teaching and research interests are philosophical and multidisciplinary; they include various topics in feminist, political, and legal philosophies and philosophy of race. She has published articles on public policy topics such as the ethics of the minimum wage and educational vouchers, and on the feminism and social economics of Charlotte Perkins Gilman. She is co-editor of a book entitled, Race, Liberalism, and Economics (University of Michigan Press), for which she has written an essay on the philosophical underpinnings of John Stuart Mill's disagreement with Thomas Carlyle on race, slavery, and free markets. Her current research is in three areas: on the political and racial treatment of Muslim immigrants and Black Americans in post-9-11 American political discourse; on the eclipses of sub-altern political spaces in Hannah Arendt's discussion of politics; and on the ethnocentric and class-biased treatment of women's work in feminist theory.
