Carol Gilligan is recognized among Jewish contributors to Philosophy & Social Sciences — Psychologist known for work on moral development and gender
Born in New York City into a Jewish family, Gilligan is an American psychologist who taught at Harvard and NYU. Challenging the male-centered models of moral development of her mentor Lawrence Kohlberg, her 1982 book 'In a Different Voice' argued that women often reason about morality through an ethic of care and relationship rather than abstract rules. The work became a landmark of feminist psychology and reshaped the study of moral development and gender.
