Marta Sznajder, a philosopher at the University of Groningen,
talks to Naomi Osorio-Kupferblum about her Janina Project in
which she researches the life and work of Janina
Hosiasson-Lindenbaum aka Janina Pańska. Born in Warsaw in 1899,
Janina Hosiasson was one of the most avant-garde philosophers of
her time. Despite the double disadvantage of being a woman and a
Jew, she contributed to work in her area, inductive logic, with
papers and talks at internationally renowned venues which
inspired some of her most prominent contemporaries. Marta
Sznajder speaks about the importance of Janina’s work, her
personal life and her untimely death at the hands of the Gestapo
in 1942. For more, including fascinating updates, on the Janina
Project, see Marta Sznajder’s website:
