Research background
'This work of contemporary realist fiction explores the gap between theoretical models of ethical decision-making based on gender (Gilligan 1982) and based on broader cultural contexts (Ford and Lowery 1986). The work explores the notion that ethical decision-making is multiple, embodied, emotional and inarticulate, as much as, if not more than, it is singular, intellectual and/or theoretical. The story presents a complex overlapping of responses to the problem of who to care for, and how, and demonstrates the messy humanity of characters who embrace, rather than retreat from, personal and relational crises.'
