Theses presenters employ the ethics of care to examine and interrogate a variety of issues, with a special focus on the Canadian context, including governing norms, social policies, government institutions, and international relations. Building off of these critiques they will imagine alternative ways to organize our lives so as to address better the caring needs, desires, and tensions that occur throughout the life course across various scales and contexts in Canada.
