GENDERING ETHICS/ THE ETHICS OF GENDER
AN INTERNATIONAL INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE
23 - 25 JUNE 2000
CENTRE FOR INTERDISCIPLINARY GENDER STUDIES
UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS
Recent years have seen a growing interest in issues of ethics within
feminist scholarship. As faith in the grand narratives and
political projects of modernity has faltered, there has been a turn
towards situated, contingent ethical frameworks. Both the
philosophical basis and the political contours of these emerging
frameworks are the subject of intense debate among feminists.
Developments in science and technology raise new ethical dilemmas,
and the demands of subaltern groups disturb old moral certainties.
Across a wide range of disciplines questions of ethics are taking
centre stage. This conference will be the first major international,
interdisciplinary feminist conference in the United Kingdom to
address these issues.
