On Caring | The Library

Many individuals, past and present, have influenced our ideas on caring. Below you will find many who have influenced our thinking. But most important we want to share these thinkers with you so you can use their ideas to think about modes of caring for a caring society.

We will be discussing these author’s ideas in our blogs, vodcasts, and podcasts and linking you to their websites and to their work, so you can see how we do critical reading and connective thinking. It is our hope to do podcasts with many of our connective thinkers, so stay tuned for updatesSubscribe to our alerts and when we update this page, you will be notified.
