- Description:
- Linda A. Bell, born in 1940, grew up in the Daytona, Florida area. Majoring in mathematics,Bell graduated from Emory University in 1962. She went on to Northwestern University,earning her M.A. in Philosophy in 1966, and she earned a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Emory University in 1973. Bell began teaching in Georgia State University's Philosophy Department in 1968 as a part-time instructor, becoming full-time in 1970, an Assistant Professor in 1973, an Associate Professor in 1978, and a full Professor in 1986. Bell worked to offer feminist philosophy classes and other women-centric courses at GSU as part of a larger goal to introduce a Women's Studies program at the university. This goal was realized in 1984 when GSU established the Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Women's Studies, a program Bell co-chaired from 1984-1989. In 1998, Bell became the director of the Women's Studies Institute at GSU where she remained until her retirement in 2004. As well as advocating for the creation of a Women's Studies program at GSU,Bell was vocal during the development of University and Board of Regent policies, and participated in numerous committees and campus organizations, including the University Senate and the Executive Committee of the College of Arts and Sciences. In addition to her service at Georgia State University, Bell served in numerous official capacities on committees, task forces, and associations pertaining to collegiate academia, philosophy and women's studies, including the American Association of University Professors, the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy and the Women's Studies Group of the University Center of Georgia. She participated as an advisor to several socio-political commissions and endeavors such as the Georgia Commission on Family Values and Initiative on Sexual and Intimate Violence. Bell has written an extensive number of articles,papers and essays, as well as book chapters on philosophical and women's topics. She published five books over the course of her career: Visions of Women (Humana Press,1983), Sartre's Ethics of Authenticity (University of Alabama Press, 1989), Rethinking Ethics in the Midst of Violence (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 1993), Overcoming Racism and Sexism (Rowman & Littlefield, 1995), and Beyond the Margins: Reflections of a Feminist Philosopher (State University of New York Press, 2003). Bell retired from GSU in 2004.
