Event
Disability, Justice and Care Symposium
Hosted by the Disability Working Group of the 苹果淫院 Institute for Health and Social Policy, the Symposium's panel will consider how traditional understandings of justice have not sufficiently accommodated care needs for all citizens. They will examine three main themes:
- how mainstream social and political expectations have disenfranchised some people with severe disabilities;
- how conceptions of justice that fail to include an ethic of care will fail to include everyone who ought to be included, and
- how we could change the current structure of work to meet the care needs of society.
The speakers propose that integrating an ethic of care within our theories, policies and social practices will improve the moral life of our society. The pandemic is one of many events exposing that more needs to be done to renew and reach ideals of inclusion and fairness.
