A Day with Carol Gilligan - In a Human Voice: A Story That Goes Beyond Gender
November 4, 2023, 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM
***Registration will close at 4:00 PM the day before the event. No registrations are possible after this time, no exceptions.***
All times listed are in Pacific Time (PT) unless otherwise noted.
Carol Gilligan joins NCP to discuss her newly released book, In a Human Voice.
It has been over forty years since the publication of Gilligan’s revolutionary book, In a Different Voice (1982), when she amplified women’s voices on self and moral development, helping them to be heard in their own right, and with their own integrity. With In a Human Voice, she argues that human voices go beyond gender and speak for an ethics of integrity, respect, and loyalty. The human voice is a voice of resistance, direct and compassionate, a requisite for love, and an advocate for democracy. Gilligan is now Professor of Humanities and Applied Psychology at New York University and a Principal Investigator for the Advancement of Our Common Humanity. She is a widely sought-after speaker, and we are thrilled that she has come to Los Angeles to have a dialogue with us.
Dr. Susan Hekman, Professor of Political Science at the University of Texas, will also share her thoughts about Gilligan’s writings. Hekman’s 1995 book Moral Voices, Moral Selves examines key problems in moral theory.
In the afternoon session, Clare Knudson, a Candidate in the Child & Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program at NCP, will present a clinical case and invite the audience to discuss identity, self, and morality, and the ways women continue to prioritize an “ethics of care.”
Many thanks to all of our presenters for helping us further develop our humanity.
Copies of In a Human Voice will be available for purchase after the program.
Schedule:
9 am - 12 pm: morning presentation
12 pm - 1 pm: catered lunch for in-person attendees
1 pm - 3 pm: afternoon presentation
Learning Objectives
As a result of attending this session, participants should be able to:
- List two ways in which a caring voice from a gender binary and hierarchy voice are different
- List three factors that prevent a person from recognizing how to listen and to hear both what is being said and what is not being said
- Explain how the words “actually,” “really,” and the phrase “to be honest” can be markers of the patient breaking through dissociation
- Explain the term “a human voice”
- Describe how a “feminine” voice is different from a gender binary voice
- List the problems with separation as a crisis of connection
- Describe the psychological bargain children face when the price of relationships is to silence aspects of themselves
- Summarize gender binary and hierarchy as the building blocks of patriarchy
- Discuss Hekman's argument that Gilligan's approach entails a multiplicity of moral voices, not just one or even two
