VFA PIONEER HISTORIES PROJECT: MARIA CRISTINA LUGONESveteranfeminists2022-11-09T15:19:13-05:00

THE VFA PIONEER HISTORIES PROJECT

María Cristina Lugones

January 26, 1944 – July 14, 2020

“When I do not see plurality stressed in the very structure of a theory, I know that I will have to do lots of acrobatics— of the contortionist and the walk-on-the-tightrope kind— to have this theory speak to me without allowing the theory to distort me in my complexity.”

Dr. Lugones worked in feminist theory, social and political philosophy, and Latin American philosophy. Known for her groundbreaking contributions to decolonial philosophy/theory, feminist philosophy/theory, Indigenous philosophy/theory, critical gender, race, and sexuality studies, Latin American philosophy, and world systems theory. BA, University of California, 1969. Master’s degree, 1973. PhD, University of Wisconsin, 1978.
