About the conference
Throughout our lifetime, everyone needs care, and yet we know less about how one learns and is educated to not only care about others but also care for them. Our proposed conference theme “Caring About and For Others: Teaching and Learning to Care” will encourage scholars to discuss:
1) Caring About & For Others: how can and do individuals learn and think about both about caring about our fellow human beings (empathy, sympathy, love) and/or also for them (compassion, helpfulness, support);
2) Justice & Care: How care and justice can go hand in hand in challenging injustices and inequalities in society
3) Care Ethics: How care ethics can contribute to our understanding of creating more caring citizens and societies;
4) Informal & Formal Moral Education: How morality can be learned and taught in multiple often understudied contexts (e.g., beyond the classroom in everyday helping, caring, loving).
