The World Needs More Care


I’m Maurice Hamington, a feminist philosopher of care and professor at Portland State University. My research endeavors to understand care ethics and advocate for more and better care in our world.

Research

I have been fortunate enough to write or edit 15 books, as well as many book chapters and peer-reviewed articles, on the subject of care. Collaborative research with other scholars is particularly rewarding for me. I have co-edited and co-authored numerous projects and welcome further opportunities.

40 Years of Higher Education Experience

My graduate training includes a PhD in Philosophy, a PhD in Religious Studies, an MBA in Business, a Graduate Certificate in Women’s Studies. I’ve published in various areas, including business ethics, feminist theory, and religious studies. I have been privileged to receive institutional awards for teaching, scholarship, and advising.

Public Philosophy

I have been humbled by invitations to speak across the country as well as in the Netherlands, Italy, France, India (virtually), the United Kingdom, and Canada. Through 2025, I am a Fulbright Specialist.
