We are living in times of terror and trauma, where our suffering, rather than bringing us together, threatens to divide us. At the core of human life is the suffering that Lévinas rightly linked to the core element in any authentic ethics. How do we answer that call across the multitude of differences that might otherwise divide us and leave us alone in our suffering?

In this roundtable, we will continue the conversation we began at last year’s conference, concerning women and leadership, to come together as a community of women to discuss how we might better support the work each of us is doing to try to bridge divides and more actively build a better world. Please join us!
