Barbara Fultner, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Women's Studies,
joined the faculty at Denison
in 1995. She earned a B.A. from Simon Fraser University,
an M.A. from McGill University and a Ph.D. from Northwestern University.
She teaches courses in philosophy of language, the history of modern
philosophy, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of feminism among others. In
2000, she received Denison's
Feminist Teaching Award. She has served as chair of the department from
2004-2008.
Dr. Fultner's research interests lie at the cross-roads of analytic and
continental philosophy, with a focus on theories of meaning and social
practice. She is interested in the nature of normativity and its relationship
to the social aspects of language. Most recently, she has been examining the
connections between semantic normativity and the development of
intersubjectivity in early childhood. She also has strong interests in feminist
philosophy. Her articles have appeared in journals including Philosophical
Studies, Philosophy and Social Criticism, and The International Journal of
Philosophical Studies. She is translator of Jürgen Habermas Truth and
Justification (MIT Press 2003) and his On the Pragmatics of Social Interaction
(MIT Press 2000). Currently, she is
editing the volume Habermas: Key Concepts,
which will be published by Acumen.
Dr. Fultner is the recipient of a 2008-2009 University of Connecticut
Humanities Institute Fellowship, as well as Denison University's
R.C. Good Fellowship for 2008-2009. While a fellow at the Humanities Institute in 2008-09, she will be
working on a book manuscript tentatively titled Meaning, Intersubjectivity, and Social Practice: Social Theories of Meaning.
