In a Human Voice: In Conversation with Psychologist Carol Gilligan
Psychologist Carol Gilligan revolutionized her field鈥檚 understanding of gender with her 1982 book, In A Different Voice: Psychological Theory and Women鈥檚 Development. Her work in the field focused on the human voice and inspired and informed a feminist-oriented movement in philosophical ethics known as the ethics of care.
Rabbi Naomi Kalish, the Harold and Carole Wolfe Director of 91快播鈥檚 Center for Pastoral Education, was in conversation with Professor Gilligan. The two talked about her background, reflect on the influence of her Jewish upbringing, and discuss her groundbreaking work and its implications for today, forty years later.
This event is co-sponsored by 91快播鈥檚 Center for Pastoral Education and Louis Finkelstein Institute for Religious and Social Studies.
