25 years after Margaret Walker’s Moral Understandings was first published by Routledge, we invite scholars to carry forward Walker’s examinations.
They'll revisit central theoretical and practical issues discussed in this landmark publication of feminist ethics. After the presentations Margaret Urban Walker will join us online to give a response to each of them. Attend in person or online by registering below!
