Carol Gilligan is the 2025 Kyoto Prize Laureate in Arts and Philosophy. She has critiqued conventional psychological theories for narrowing the model of personality development and relegating the “care” perspective—which emphasizes human relationships—to a subordinate, gendered status as a feminine moral perspective. By envisioning an enmeshment of the 'ethic of justice' and 'ethic of care,' Gilligan has established a new academic foundation to address global issues related to care. Carol Gilligan’s lecture is introduced by Tom Simpson, Alfred Landecker Professor of Values and Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government. The lecture is followed by a Q&A moderated by Professor Matthew Rushworth, Head of Department of Experimental Psychology and Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Oxford.
