GWSS professors Lina-Maria Murillo and Asha Bhandary have been chosen to participate in Philosophical Perspectives on Giving and Receiving Care at Reed College.
During the three weeks of the institute participants will explore recent work on care and caregiving in political philosophy and theory. Readings and discussion will follow three lines of inquiry: the distinct questions which arise when care is taken as central in political philosophy and theory; the new questions posed by political, economic, technological and environmental changes; and the distinct insights about care gained by attending to race, class, gender, national status, age and ability. The institute will support the development of related pedagogical and research projects, such as a book, journal article, or new course syllabus.
Congratulations, Lina and Asha!
