The seminar series unpacks four phases of an ethic of care, and specifically how men can contribute to the cultivation of a feminist ethic of care.
 
The first session addressed  men ‘caring about’ and how men’s ignorance of the value of care may be overcome.
 
The second session engaged with men ‘taking care’ of others, and focused on the problematic nature of the ‘father as financial provider only’ stereotype.
 
The third session focused on men doing care work, and explored structural options for how to increase gender equality in terms of care.
