Media & Invited Presentations

I thoroughly enjoy meeting other scholars and discussing care theory.  I am always so impressed with the work being done by academics and practitioners thinking about care.  If your institution would like to have a presentation or discussion of care ethics (or Jane Addams) please consider inviting me.
