Care & Dem Seminar Series: Carol Gilligan, In a Human Voice

The fifth session of the Care & Democracy seminar series 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, traditionally 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 (Université Paris 1, Panthéon-Sorbonne), Patricia Paperman (Paris 8), Carol Gilligan (NYU), Fabienne Brugére (Paris 8), Barbara Formis (Université Paris 1, Panthéon-Sorbonne), Valentina Moro, and Zona Zarić (AUP).
