This event will be followed up by monthly book club-like meetings where you can discuss literature themed around care ethics — a philosophical approach that sees moral values as rooted in relations of care.

Dr. Brelje is a new adjunct instructor in JMU’s Department of Philosophy and Religion. In her doctoral program, Dr. Brelje specialized in care ethics as applied to plants. Additionally, she is the show runner for the podcast Networking with Plants in the Anthropocene, which regularly interviews practitioners, researchers, artists, and others working with plants.
