CALL FOR PAPERS

Gendering Ethics / The Ethics of Gender
An International Interdisciplinary Conference
23   25 June 2000

Centre for Interdisciplinary Gender Studies
University of Leeds, United Kingdom

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.

We welcome short papers for parallel sessions on a range of themes
including: Gender and moral subjectivity; the ethics of science and
technology; bodily integrity; the new ethics of the public sphere;
religious traditions and gender ethics; social policies and normative
frameworks; intimate ethics; gender,
reason and rationality; representation and ethics; violence, war and
ethics; human rights, universalism and particularism; agency, autonomy
and ethics; the ethics of sex; gender, nature and animals; feminist
ethical histories abolitionism, peace, prostitution, sexual violence;
the ethics of the market; postmodernism, ethics and politics; the
ethics of place and space; ethics and the politics of difference;
alternative moral communities   historical, fictional, utopian.

Send 200 word abstracts by 1 February 2000 to:
