A two-day conference inspired in part by the #MeToo movement is the subject of a featured article in the Harvard Gazette.
Becca Rothfeld, a PhD candidate in the Department of Philosophy and co-organizer of the conference, notes that while much of the public conversation around #MeToo has centerd on "the ethics of a particular sexual encounter," far less time has been spent on discussions of the ethics of other kinds of intimacy, an omission Rothfeld finds within philosophy itself.
