I am grateful for the opportunity to engage with you in multiple dialogues on feminist ethics in the spring of 2013. I am in the process of making changes to the syllabus; the focus of the course will be on a contemporary understanding and application of feminist ethics with an appreciation for its philosophical antecedents. Assignments and a final project will change to reflect the content and discourse of the class. I will have a final syllabus posted here as soon as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at behrend@gonzaga.edu or 360-259-3971.
