- Imagining Care: Responsibility, Dependency and Canadian Literature examines care-giving from multiple perspectives and contexts. Using writing by contemporary Canadian authors (Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, Michael Ignatieff, Ian Brown, and David Chariandy) it examines the ethics of care in terms of nation, gender, and race. It is a long-form output (232 pages) and the result of two years of research and writing funded by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
