Sabrina Ebbersmeyer

Sabrina Ebbersmeyer, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Copenhagen and specialist in Renaissance and early modern women philosophers, explores how the concept of ingenium shaped debates about women's capacity for learning. She discusses Anna Maria van Schurman’s tactical use of ingenium to argue for women’s education and Elisabeth of Bohemia’s celebrated intellectual reputation. The conversation also covers access to education and why including women in curricula matters.
