Riley Clare Valentine Ph.D.
What does it mean to live in a caring society? How do we create a caring society? My work focuses on these questions and follows them through theories of legal embodiment and disability. I am an independent scholar and my thinking and work rests on political theory, Catholic Social Teaching, and social justice.
