25 Years of Care Ethics: Resisting Hegemonies in Moral Theory
The publication of Carol Gilligan's In A Different Voice in 1982 and Nel Noddings' Caring in 1984 marked the beginning of a significant feminist challenge to liberal ethics. In the ensuing quarter century, volumes were written about this revolutionary approach to morality that emphasizes relationships, context, and emotion over traditional rules of adjudication. To mark this anniversary, we are proposing an interdisciplinary session of papers that address the history, impact, status, and potential of feminist care ethics for the 2008 National Women's Studies Conference in Cincinnati, OH, June 19-22, 2008. Papers for this session should be 10-12 minutes long. Proposals are welcome from any discipline. Any topic addressing care ethics is also welcome although papers that discuss the history, impact, status, or future of care ethics are encouraged. Please send paper proposals to Maurice Hamington before October 21 at hamington@earthlink.net
This session is sponsored by Maurice Hamington, Associate Professor of Women's Studies, Metropolitan State College of Denver and Dorothy C. Miller, Clnical Associate Professor, Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, Case Western University.
