Intersectionality of Canonical Texts and Modernity: Confucianism as a Case Study

Panel: 
Asian Literature
Abstract: 

My presentation deals with the compatibility between Confucianism as found in classical texts and care ethics as a form of feminist ethics. My contention is that a hybrid Confucian-feminist care ethics is able to offer a distinct conceptual alternative to women to realize gender parity.
