Hanneke Canters
Hanneke Canters (1969–2002) was a feminist philosopher and student of Grace Jantzen. Canters was born in The Netherlands and subsequently studied Theology and Philosophy at the University of Groningen. Then she studied the philosophy of religion with Professor Grace Jantzen at King's College London. Canters was awarded a Master of Arts degree. Following this Canters won a scholarship to study for a Doctorate at the University of Sunderland under the supervision of Dr. Pamela Sue Anderson and Dr John Mullarkey. Her thesis was a study of the Belgian feminist philosopher and former Lacanian psychoanalyst Luce Irigaray, in particular her book Elemental Passions. Eventually, her thesis was supervised by Grace Jantzen and successfully examined. Not long after Canters developed a terminal illness and died in Leiden in September 2002. Her former supervisor continued the work and published it as a joint work in 2006.
