Carol Gilligan joins NCP to discuss her newly released book In a Human Voice.
It has been over forty years since the publication of Gilligan’s revolutionary book In a Different Voice (1982), when she amplified women’s voices on self and moral development, helping them to be heard in their own right, and with their own integrity. With In a Human Voice, she argues that human voices go beyond gender and speak for an ethics of integrity, respect, and loyalty. The human voice is a voice of resistance, direct and compassionate, a requisite for love, and an advocate for democracy. Gilligan is now Professor of Humanities and Applied Psychology at New York University and a Principal Investigator for the Advancement of Our Common Humanity. She is a widely sought-after speaker, and we are thrilled that she has come to Los Angeles to have a dialogue with us.

Dr. Susan Hekman, Professor of Political Science at the University of Texas, will also share her thoughts about Gilligan’s writings. Hekman’s 1995 book Moral Voices, Moral Selves examines key problems in moral theory.

In the afternoon session, Clare Knudson, a Candidate in the Child & Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program at NCP, will present a clinical case and invite the audience to discuss identity, self, and morality, and the ways women continue to prioritize an “ethics of care.”
