Areas of feminist research: feminist ethics and social philosophy

The main thrust of my current research is in the recent rebirth of ethical naturalism in moral philosophy. While most researchers in the field do not take a feminist angle on this project, I believe that the insights into human nature achieved by feminist research over the past decades have enormous importance for the project of working out a naturalistic virtue ethics. For me, important feminist sources include Nel Noddings, Virginia Held, and Eva Kittay.
