Feminist philosophy

In considering the developed and developing country contexts with their different cultural orientation, beliefs and value systems. It is here that feminist philosophy adds value to CS and to our concerns around ethics and integrity. 

Feminist philosophers’ ideas of social justice (Fraser 2008, Marion Young 1990) or difference and diversity (Suransky and Alma 2018) or Bozalek et al. (2017) and her idea of authentic learning and the significance of emerging technologies, are all relevant to our discussion on ethics, integrity and social justice.  In her critical social theory, Fraser (2008) addresses social justice and its emancipatory intent. She is concerned with social status hierarchies that fail to respect all social members equally (her ‘recognition’ axis). She scrutinizes political justice where the “who” question, who are included and by what standard, and the “how” question, how are they represented and and how are they being addressed. A successful politics of representation brings in notions of participation and democracy. To Fraser, justice concerns the parity of participation, i.e. “justice requires social arrangements that permit all to participate as peers in social life (2008:73)."
