Join us! Distinguished Faculty Lecture - Loren Cannon, April. 9, 2025
Loren Cannon will present a lecture commemorating their Distinguished Faculty Award for Outstanding Service, on Wednesday, April 9, 2025 at 5:00pm in Goodwin Forum (Nelson Hall East 102). A small reception will follow.
Title: Service as Care-Work in the Contemporary University Context
Synopsis: Loren will lead an investigatory discussion to delve into the extent that service work can be rightly understood as actions and attitudes of Care. We will discuss whether this kind of framing is helpful in our efforts to create a care-infused university or misplaced given the realities of the contemporary context. Pulling from the philosophical literature as well as personal experience, Loren will try to thread the conceptual needle between celebrating practices of Care that strengthen our communities and encouraging potentially unhealthy practices that result in squishy professional boundaries and unmanageable working conditions.
Free and open to students, faculty, staff and members of the local community. Light refreshments provided.
This is the third of four Distinguished Faculty Lectures that will take place in the Spring 2025 semester. See poster for details of future lectures
