[5/24 SSRI Open Lecture] & [5/25 Symposium] Gender of Ethics and Care

Gender and Ethics of Care: An Open Lecture and Symposium

Speaker: Professor Joan Tronto (Professor emerita, University of Minnesota)

Abstract

By inviting Professor Joan Tronto (Professor emerita, University of Minnesota), the pioneer in the field of studies on gender and politics, as a keynote speaker, we will explore how the perspective of care changes our conventional view of democracy and how it opens up possibilities to foster new perspectives on democracy and gender. We expect this project to bring about two results: first, it promotes interdisciplinary communication on gender and politics; second, it conveys a message that ICU plays a significant role in fostering academic discussions on important issues of gender and politics

* This is a cooperative project by SSRI, CGS, and Japanese Conference for the Study of Political Thought.
