Symposium Picking Up Moral Understandings: 18 September 2024
Margaret Walker’s Moral Understandings was first published in 1998 by Routledge. Nine years later, a second edition was published in 2007 as part of the Oxford’s studies in feminist philosophy. The two editions were lauded in several reviews as enormously ambitious and deeply original contributions to feminist ethics. Her work was an important catalyst to a range of feminist researchers taking up social injustice questions over the last two decades. After 25 years, we invite scholars to carry forward Walker’s examinations and revisit central theoretical and practical issues discussed in this landmark publication of feminist ethics.
