Conferment Ceremony of Honorary Doctoral Degrees at BGU - Prof. Carol Gilligan, USA

Prof. Carol Gilligan, USA

American feminist, ethicist, and psychologist, Professor at New York University and a Visiting Professor at the University of Cambridge. She is best known for her 1982 work, In a Different Voice in which she outlined difference feminism. Psychology, Gilligan argued, had been unknowingly ignoring the voices and experiences of half the human race. Difference feminism, as her perspective has come to be called, highlights the different qualities of both men and women, but asserts that no value judgment can be placed upon them.

This ceremony took place during BGU's 45th Board of Governors Meeting in May 2015.
