Jane Clare Jones Feminist Philosopher: Background, Education, Career

Jane Clare Jones Feminist Philosopher: Background, Education, Career 2

Jane Clare Jones Background

Dr. Jane Clare Jones is a feminist philosopher, writer, and activist. She grew up in a faded seaside town on England’s south coast, where she attended the local state school. Dr. Jane Clare Jines went on to study Social and Political Science at Cambridge, where she graduated with honors and was told by a rather pompous man that her “intellectual trajectory” was “unfortunate.” (Nothing has changed since then).

Dr. Jane Clare Jones spent her twenties kicking around, wondering what to do with her life while working as a private tutor, teaching English in London investment banks (a job she described as “odd”), and pretending I was good at schmoozing around the independent film scene when she blatantly wasn’t. (Nonetheless she did get to work with Rockbitch and assistant directed a truly terrible film of a man delivering a cod-Becketian anti-globalisation monologue while standing on a fake iceberg).

By 2004, Dr Jane Clare Jones had matured enough to not care if arrogant men thought her intellectual path was unfortunate, and she returned to university, studying continental and feminist philosophy at Goldsmiths (MPhil) and the State University of New York (PhD).

She has been involved in feminist activism and writing popular pieces at the intersection of feminism, politics, and culture since 2011. In 2013, she discovered trans activism while assisting in the planning of a feminist party that was firebombed before it even got started.

Jane Clare Jones The Annals of the TERF-Wars and Other

The Annals of the Terf Wars and Other Writing collects essays, speeches, Twitter threads, poetry, and one Star Wars-inspired satirical play written by feminist philosopher Jane Clare Jones during her many-year involvement in the gender wars. This collection makes a compelling case for why the contemporary trans rights movement is not a progressive political force by critically interrogating the intellectual history and conceptual structure of transgender ideology. These frontline dispatches, written with wit, clarity, and frequent exasperation, provide invaluable analysis of perhaps the most remarkable political discourse devised in human history.
