QuoteReplyTopic: Ethicist Nel Noddings is Visting My University Posted: 07-Sep-2006 at 21:01
On the 18th, Nel Noddings will be giving a guest lecture at my university. She appears to be interested primarily in "caring" and a feminist approach to education.
Does anyone know anything about her or have any opinions about what she stands for?
Appears that she is big on sympathy/empathy that fosters a genuine caring atmosphere. Her altruistic intentions seem to enhance the foundation for receptive learning.
I personally do not know much about her theories and practice. I will say that the cornerstone of healthy relating is the ability to show empathy. Other than that I would need to see her results in order to make an opinion.
