Senior Research Scholars

The Project has a major interest in feminine and feminist ideas of care, which are the principal focal point of the predominance of contemporary inquiries into care and the application of this idea in fields such as philosophy, theology, ethics, educational theory, philosophy of health care, etc. Because feminine and feminist notions of care are quite accessible, the first phase of the Project has concerned itself with other, less-well-known ideas and issues in the history of care. The following is a partial list of the Senior Research Scholars who are preparing Background Reports for the Project for the History of Care on topics that, for the most part, are antecedent to or on the fringes of contemporary debates about care.
