Trinity College

          Global gender justice is an important and rather new area of ethics and political theory.  Please join us for an informal discussion group including faculty and graduate students.  Article for Feb. 12th:

          Alison Jaggar, “Transnational Cycles of Gendered Vulnerability:  A Prologue to a Theory of Global Gender Injustice”, Philosophical Topics Vol. 37, No. 2, Fall 2009.

          Our focus is on global gender justice.  Thinking in the general area of social and political theory, we would like to discuss questions concerning rights, women’s rights, the ethic of care, and global poverty.  We are also interested in gender and self-determination, including sovereignty, and multiculturalism in global perspective. 

          If you would like to receive the paper electronically:

Email Lynda Lange at lange@utsc.utoronto.ca.  Indicate if you would like to be added to an email list.  It is hoped that a fairly consistent group will be able to meet, but you do not have to have been at the previous meetings (or done those readings!) to come to this one.  We expect to meet every four to six weeks.
