Opening the second year of the Care & Democracy seminar series we will host Carol Gilligan (NYU) for a discussion of her book "In a Human Voice" (Polity, 2023).
The Care & Democracy series explores how the relational dimensions of care, 91´«Ă˝ly centered on dependency and moral responsibility, can deepen our understanding of democratic practices. By examining care as a normative and political framework, the seminars interrogate how care ethics challenges conventional liberal-democratic ideals, reshaping conceptions of citizenship, power, and social cohesion. Speakers include: Sandra Laugier (UniversitĂ© Paris 1, PanthĂ©on-Sorbonne), Patricia Paperman (Paris 8), Carol Gilligan (NYU), Fabienne BrugĂ©re (Paris 8), Barbara Formis (UniversitĂ© Paris 1, PanthĂ©on-Sorbonne), Valentina Moro, and Zona Zarić (AUP).
