Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is just an outline for a workshop, and therefore pretty short, but I think it efficiently gets to the core of the difficulty we face in the ethics of analytics: "Neither ethics of justice nor ethics of care, on their own, can "sufficiently  address and accommodate the complexities, intersectionality and multi-dimensional nature of individuals and different relations in different contexts." Quite true. The authors suggests that we need to approach the subject "from a dialectic and relational stance between justice and care." If only it were that simple. But the ethics of justice and care are just two of many approaches to ethics. I can only say, you're going to need something bigger than dialectics.
