Research & Publications

posterEva Kittay’s first works in philosophy were in the philosophy of language, publishing Metaphor: Its Cognitive Force and Linguistic Structure (Clarendon Press, Oxford University Press).

In 1999, Kittay’s Love’s Labor: Essays on Women, Equality and Dependency, received international attention and has been translated into Japanese, Korean, and Italian.

Her most recent book, Learning From My Daughter: The Value and Care of Disabled Minds, the recipient of the PROSE Award for the best book in philosophy of 2019 is also translated into Arabic and is awaiting an Italian translation.

The edited collection Women and Moral Theory ushered in decades-long work by philosophers in the ethics of care. Other edited collections include The Blackwell Guide to Feminist Philosophy, and Theoretical Perspectives on Dependency and Women. A 2008 collection — based on a conference she organized, Cognitive Disability and the Challenge to Moral Philosophy — opened a new field of inquiry in philosophy.

Eva also lectures widely at academic and professional conferences, on bioethics panels and to lay audiences of parents and families of people with disabilities.
