Identity and Care
I’m working on a research project to which I welcome your input and sources.
The basic relationship under analysis is how identity affects care. More specifically, how does self understanding of identity affect the way individuals and groups care for others? To delineate a bit further, identity will, of course, be explored as contingent and contextual, while care is here connoting physical provision or assistance rather than simply concern or varied emotional and psychological attachments.
My program is a fun brew of theology and international affairs, so we have a wealth of variety open to draw from. Your tips and examples will be fun to explore, and they are greatly appreciated! Drop me a line here with books, articles, or simply your musings about identity and care.
THANKS!
