Feminist Philosopher & Educator
About bell-aggie
In 2017, she co-authored the 'Situated Pedagogy Manifesto,' a widely cited intervention that reframed classroom power dynamics by treating syllabus design itself as epistemic labor, not just content delivery, but knowledge curation with accountability to marginalized epistemologies. Her work on 'affective scaffolding' challenges how feminist classrooms handle anger, grief, and interruption, arguing that emotional responsiveness is not auxiliary to learning but constitutive of philosophical rigor. She’s spent over a decade facilitating cross-disciplinary workshops where historians, neuroscientists, and community organizers jointly reinterpret care ethics through material constraints, like childcare deserts or algorithmic hiring bias, refusing abstraction divorced from infrastructure. Her lectures rarely begin with definitions; they open with contested archival fragments: a redacted Title IX complaint, a TikTok thread on wage theft among care workers, or a 1973 zine page misattributed for forty years. Philosophy, for her, is always already in the margin notes, the footnotes, the strike-throughs.
