Persons with Adult-Onset Head Injury: A Crucial Resource for Feminist Philosophers

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  25 March 2020

Abstract

The effects of head injury, even mild traumatic brain injury, are wide-ranging and profound. Persons with adult-onset head injury offer feminist philosophers important perspectives for philosophical methodology and philosophical research concerning personal identity, mind-body theories, and ethics. The needs of persons with head injury require the expansion of typical teaching strategies, and such adaptations appear beneficial to both disabled and non-disabled students.
