Iris Marion Young, Professor in Political Science at the University of 
Chicago and a pioneering feminist philosopher who made groundbreaking 

contributions to political philosophy and phenomenology died on August 1, 
2006. Her work bridged divides between analytic and European philosophy 

and between high-level theory and grassroots activism. In addition to her 
contributions as a social theorist, Dr. Young was a committed political 

activist who marched with picketing workers in Chicago. 

 

Dr. Young died a few months after agreeing to serve on the editorial board 
of Studies in Social Justice. We dedicate this first issue to the memory of Dr. 

Young.
