Biography:
PhD (Toronto)
My research interests include feminist philosophy, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, political philosophy, feminist and postcolonial critique, women and multiculturalism, Simone de Beauvoir.
My research is in two strands: one is “post-” or “decolonial” studies in philosophy”, considered from the perspective of both ethics and epistemology, with special interest in indigenous peoples. The second is questions of rights and the ethic of care, gender justice domestically and globally, and the social, political, and economic effects of the ways in which care work is structured in particular societies.
