▼ In this dissertation, I respond to the feminist critique of traditional theories of
autonomy, which revolves around the charge that such theories are too individualistic. Feminists argue against the liberal atomism that they see at the center of traditional
autonomy theories. Their resulting theory of
relational autonomy is meant to remedy that traditional theories of
autonomy posit an individualistic conception of both the self and
autonomy. Instead, feminists have argued for a theory of
autonomy that takes account of the ways in which persons are irreducibly social, and the ways in which
autonomy itself is only possible within certain types of social relationships.
I separate the feminist charges against liberalism from the feminist charges against traditional
autonomy, since it is at least prima facie possible to consider personal
autonomy separately from political
autonomy. I thus isolate the feminist critique of liberal atomism from the feminist critique of individualistic
autonomy. The first chapter examines the feminist critique of liberalism to determine why it is that the charge of liberal atomism continues to stick, even though it has been clearly established by both feminist and mainstream liberals that liberalism is not guilty of such a charge. While I do not provide a full defense of liberalism, I do argue that such a defense is possible, and possible in a way that upholds feminist goals.
Having separated the critiques of liberalism from the critiques of traditional
autonomy, the rest of the dissertation focuses exclusively on the
autonomy debate. I present an argument against the most robustly
relational feminist accounts of
autonomy – those which accept a
relational account of both the self and
autonomy. I argue that, although such theories are explicitly designed to vindicate the normative commitments of feminism, their implications yield unwelcome results from this very same feminist perspective. I then present my own procedural account of
autonomy. Because it is not constitutively social, it is unlikely to be characterized as a
relational account at all. I argue, however, that it is this very feature which allows my account to vindicate the feminist normative commitments espoused by constitutively
relational accounts.

▼ This project concerns a deeply contested moral ideal: autonomy. To be autonomous is to have authority over one’s self and to govern one’s life on the basis ofvalue commitments one deems important. One of the dominant views of liberalism – antiperfectionist comprehensive liberalism – distinguishes itself from other liberal views because it grants unique privilege to the ideal of autonomy in personal and political life.Will Kymlicka is one of the most prominent defenders of antiperfectionist comprehensive liberalism and while he appeals to the ideal of autonomy in his liberalism, he is not clear about which theory of autonomy he is appealing to. As a result, his theory of autonomy is sketchy and incomplete. As an autonomy theorist, I think that there is more Kymlicka can say to elaborate on the view of autonomy operating in his theory of liberalism. Kymlicka has not explained whether his view is a procedural, or substantive, or a socio-relationalview and these exhaust the kinds of views of autonomy in the literature, so Kymlicka's view must be one of these. It is important for Kymlicka to be clear on the view of autonomy he incorporates because each theory has its own motivating assumptions and standards for what counts as an autonomous choice. In addition, it is important for Kymlicka to be clear about the theory of autonomy in his liberalism, because, in somecases, the standards for autonomy may be inconsistent with his liberal commitments. In this project, I argue that Kymlicka incorporates a socio-relational view of autonomy in his liberalism.

▼ This project introduces the case of the Feminist Female Slave [FFS], a female submissive in a BDSM relationship with a male Master. This case is used in order to strengthen discourse in three main areas: feminist relational autonomy, BDSM theory, and feminist community politics. I argue that the FFS offers a case in which feminist autonomy theorists can serve to grow and develop their own approaches in a way that is inclusive of the diversity of women’s sexual expression, as she challenges our narrow notions of female subservience and asks us to rethink what it means to express an autonomous women’s sexuality. In BDSM theory she asks us to reflect upon our reliance upon superficial notions of consent and the lack of space for a critical dialogue, and finally, in feminist politics she asks us to consider what it means to belong to feminist communities, or what it means to feel as if one can lay claim to a feminist identity. Each of these considerations is brought to light in this project because of the interesting balance that the FFS’s relationship holds between her feminist identity, sexual politics, and sexual and romantic practices.

Non-Ideal Autonomy in Relationships of Care.

▼ In moral and political philosophy, autonomy is generally theorized as a right exercised by independent, self-reflective, rational, adult persons. Feminist philosophers have challenged this picture by emphasizing that critical reflection as well as relationships and dependencies are integral to what it means to exercise autonomy. This work addresses the implications of necessitating cognitive processes such as critical reflection for autonomy in legal guardianships. In a guardianship, a court determines that a person (i.e., the ward) is ‘incapable’ of legal decision-making and appoints someone else (i.e., the guardian) to make decisions on her behalf. This is problematic because a state bill of rights statute may simultaneously require that a ward’s autonomy be respected by the guardian. Here, there is a gap between our philosophical conceptions of autonomy and how real cognitively diverse people experience it. In response to this gap, a non-ideal approach treats autonomy as a fundamental need rather than a right, suspends cognitive ideals and instead attends to diverse experiences of it. Approaching autonomy in this way has the potential to more meaningfully inform expectations of care within legal guardianships.

Discharge Planning with Older Adults: The Influence of Social and Political Systems and Contexts.

▼ Discharge planning is a complex process in which intersections of competing norms, demands and expectations often beget ethical challenges. Returning home or moving to a more supportive setting can have tremendous personal, social and financial implications for older adults and families. Institutional concerns with patient safety and expedience can overshadow healthcare professionals’ commitments to client-centred approaches. In light of many competing demands and agendas, it can be unclear what is driving discharge-planning processes and outcomes.
The research purposes were to 1) explore perspectives of older adults, family members, and healthcare professionals engaged in discharge planning from inpatient rehabilitation; 2) examine the influence of underlying beliefs, valued approaches and conventional processes on participants’ perspectives, behaviours and practices, and on discharge-planning outcomes.
Using a microethnographic case study method, observations and interview data were generated from five case studies, each consisting of an older adult, involved family members and healthcare professionals. Taking a critical bioethics perspective and using relational autonomy theory, this research examined how social and political contexts shaped discharge-planning processes and outcomes.
Discourses of aging-as-decline, beliefs privileging healthcare professionals’ expertise and conventions guiding discharge planning marginalized older adults. The prioritization of safety and focus on discharge superseded approaches to maximize function: the stated aim of rehabilitation. A profession-centric approach and the focus on safety and discharge from the time of admission intersected to promote 24-hour care recommendations in all cases.
Taking a critical bioethics perspective informed by relational autonomy revealed that discharge planning was driven by paternalistic norms and that the ‘best interests’ of older adults were aligned with ‘protecting physical safety’ at the expense of any other considerations, thereby marginalizing older adults and impeding client-centred practice. These findings suggest that adopting a relational approach could promote practices that uphold older adults’ agency and align professional responsibilities with intended program aims.

▼ This work investigates the concept of autonomy in
three contexts: in constitutional law (SA), in the philosophy of
Immanuel Kant (KA) and in the contemporary philosophical discussion
on personal autonomy (PA). Tracing the concept of autonomy
historically, we highlight similarities and dissimilarities between
different definitions. For example, Kant’s account of
self-legislation is traced back to Samuel von Pufendorf’s theory of
legislation. The main aim is to describe the difference between a
descriptive and a normative interpretation of autonomy. Autonomy is
presented as a relational concept, being on the one hand
commonplace and concrete – individuals are mutually intertwined
through various social relations and states of dependence – yet
having also logical and conceptual aspects, in this work
illustrated by a model where one entity (X) is autonomous in
relation to another entity (Y) regarding a right or a capacity (Z).
The X-Y-Z-model is applied throughout in the three above-mentioned
contexts. Two main issues are discussed in the thesis: First, the
contemporary discussion is characterized by the transition from
“ought” to “is” – an inverse naturalistic fallacy, as it were.
Personal autonomy is described as being factual, a psychological
capacity people possess to a varying extent, but without any
positive evidence presented for it being humanly possible. Being
only seemingly descriptive, the concept is in fact normative, and
the point of departure is an ideal outlook on human beings – how
people should, or ought to, be. Thus, PA seems to imply that if
human beings should, or ought to, be some certain way, then they
are or can be in that way. A person’s irrationality and his lack of
reason, however, is substantiated precisely by the fact that he, in
spite of compelling evidence to the contrary, does not realize, or
does not want to realize, that he is not solely rational or ruled
by his intellect. In other words, it is not evident whether
personal autonomy is a matter of theoretical reasoning, hypotheses,
ideals or empirically established facts and realities regarding the
autonomy of human beings. This is not entirely manifest in Kant’s
account either, which leads to the second issue. Kant may, on one
hand, as advocated in this work, be interpreted as presenting an
ethical theory – hypotheses, ideals defining how human beings ought
to be, that clearly differs from how he describes them to be. If,
on the other hand, Kant is read as intending his theory to be put
into practice in mundus sensibilis, then he joins the vast majority
of thinkers, idealists, utopists, who through the centuries have
insisted that their theories are applicable in practice, if not in
the present, at least in an indeterminate future; if human beings
were only a little less irrational, a little less predictably
unpredictable, a little less controlled by their emotions and
impulses, i.e. if man were what he is not, he would be able to live
according to the ideals of reason.

▼ This dissertation constructs a theoretical approach to understanding the moral value of personal privacy. In its current state, the philosophical literature on the moralvalue of privacy is fractured in that there are several differing approaches, each emphasizing different aspects of the problem. Some approaches, referred to as“functionalist,” consider the value of privacy as being based on the goods that it brings about. Others emphasize respect for the autonomy of the individual in question, referred to as “autonomy-based.” The view developed in this dissertation combines the centralintuitions behind both of these approaches by basing the moral value of privacy on the notion of relational autonomy. Relational autonomy is a conception of autonomy that emphasizes the interpersonal and social embeddedness of individuals, instead of treatingautonomy as a singular ideal of independence from such influences. By understanding the value of privacy as a kind of respect for relational autonomy, the relational approach is technically a kind of autonomy-based approach, but one that manages to incorporateconsideration of the socially oriented goods emphasized by functionalist accounts. The examples of social media (such as Facebook) and lifelogging are used to explain this approach to the value of privacy.

▼ The overall aim of the thesis was to develop a model that facilitates self-determination in the palliative phase in residential care. The three first studies constituted the ground for the model, which was developed in the fourth study.
Study I. Persons residing in residential care were interviewed about self-determination in this hermeneutic study. The findings show that the residents are forced to adapt to new circumstances and that they are trying to navigate this forced situation. This is interpreted as a struggle for a dignified life.
Study II. Quality of care and self-determination were evaluated and compared between residents and their family members. The findings show a high consistency in their experiences and an extensive need for improvements, especially in the psychosocial aspects of care.
Study III. The findings in this interview study with staff, analysed using qualitative content analysis, revealed that the residents’ self-determination is connected to the maintenance of their self, and that their own abilities and others’ efforts strengthen their self-determination while their vulnerability and others’ dominance undermine it.
Study IV. A model to facilitate self-determination was developed through participatory research involving different stakeholders. The core message, ‘in my way, at my pace, with the help of you’, emphasises the right to self-determination and the need for assistance to make it possible. The core message is supported by seven categories with strategies to facilitate self-determination.
The conclusion of this thesis is that age and illness make residents dependent and reduce their self-determination. This threatens their dignity of identity. The model presents a person-centred approach that facilitates self-determination despite the many obstacles described in the studies.

implants, such as Deep Brain Stimulation or a Cochlear ear implant, on a person’s
personal identity? Put explicitly: What role do neural implants play in changes in
self-understanding, agency and autonomy and what is the significance of these
changes for philosophical and practical conceptions of personal identity?
I explore the problem of the impacts of neural implants on personal identity
through reference to first-personal accounts wherein patients or their family and
significant others, express the claim that following the implantation they are no
longer themselves or no longer the same person. I apply contemporary approaches
to identity, agency and autonomy in moral psychology to argue that the sense of
identity at issue in these claims is practical identity, and not metaphysical identity,
and that the first-personal accounts reveal aspects of selfhood, raising concerns
related to narrative agency and autonomy.

▼ Accounts of autonomy within liberal theory seek to promote individual self-determination and the dignity of all persons, but have also been used to demarcate the boundaries of personhood and exclude people with intellectual disability. Critically engaging with how theories and policies that promote autonomy position people with intellectual disability can illuminate the shortcomings of individualistic approaches to autonomy and extend the accounts of relational autonomy developed by feminist theorists. Drawing on feminist conceptions of the relational self, I show that the capacity to exercise personal autonomy is dependent upon supportive relationships and enabling environments, for people with intellectual disability and for all persons. While this dependency applies to all persons, the particular challenges faced by people with intellectual disability in exercising autonomy requires us to expand the moral boundaries of our conceptions of personal autonomy. To this end, the thesis critically revises the concepts of self-representation and moral responsibility that are central to standard models of personal autonomy, by 1) exploring ethical modes of speaking with and for marginalised persons and groups, and 2) developing a political conception of care that understands the enablement of autonomy as a collective, social responsibility. It also interrogates current disability advocacy and disability policy, which in emphasising the centrality of the personal autonomy of people with disability, face the task of translating and operationalising a highly contested and emergent concept. Woven between the chapters of this thesis are short pieces of relational narrative that explore my personal positioning and relationship with my younger sister who has intellectual disability. These narratives seek to evoke the ongoing relational negotiation and renegotiation of dependency, interdependency, and individuality through which personal agency and autonomy emerge, a dynamic that needs to be supported by wider social actors and institutions in order to enable people with intellectual disability to flourish as individuals.

▼ Figuring out what one’s identity means has always been an essential task of human life. Decidedly, our values, commitments, aspirations, and experiences all contribute to this identity. I submit that individuals have control over who they are and what they become by way of these attributes. As such, control over these characteristics gives us the power to define ourselves as we wish. In my thesis, I attempt to express how autonomy is imperative for this control. I take issue with traditional notions of autonomy, concluding that they do not take into account all that is necessary to ensure a person is self-legislating. I also state some of them allow oppressive belief systems such as sexism to count as autonomous. I replace these conceptions with my version of autonomy called the “Four C’s.” These, I claim, are at least necessary for an autonomous life. Alongside this analysis, I examine our common conception of gender. I recognize it as being based on the false notion that gender is a social manifestation of sex, that it mimics our biological characteristics. I illustrate that, when we look for explanations of gender in nature, we do not actually find them—rather, we create them in what I term gendered biology, the idea that we merely appropriate to nature our ideas of gender in order to justify why gender, in its current form, is valid. I explain that this view leads to sexism, a necessarily inhibiting system of values that falsely makes claims about the abilities of people. I offer the theory that gender is a social concept, that it is an entirely socially constructed idea that is only held in place by a common consensus of its definition. In this way, gender is hollow and is always available for manipulation and revision. Ultimately, I conclude that: other theories of autonomy allow sexism to count as autonomous; our current conception of gender provides unnecessary support for sexism; my reconception of autonomy precludes sexism from counting as autonomous; and a proper thinking of gender illustrates the malleability of its content.

▼ Conceptualising an understanding of home within South
African law and how certain relationships create such an
understanding. Home can be thought of as a place of safety,
security, peace and identity. Home encapsulates values such as
human dignity, freedom and equality. Furthermore, it is a space
where one can exercise your identity autonomously. Home is a space
for
autonomy. However, some relationships give rise to this
positive concept of home and
autonomy whilst others are detrimental
thereto. These relations are explored, specifically relations of
domestic violence which threaten the values of home. Furthermore,
the public/private divide is a contributing factor to domestic
violence that occurs within the home.
Efforts used to protect
the private sphere has resulted in the public sphere compromising
the privacy and
autonomy of the victim. Privacy should not solely
be equated with the private sphere and should rather be understood
in terms of
autonomy and a right which should be afforded to
individuals.
Autonomy itself, has for a long time been equated with
the private sphere, and has, therefore, been used as a tool to
protect the abusive party from state action, rather than protecting
the abused party from the actions of the abuser. Therefore,
autonomy itself should not be equated with the private sphere, as
this conception lacks creativity in achieving
autonomy within the
collective. Therefore,an alternative understanding of
autonomy is
suggested:
relational autonomy.
Relational autonomy examines how
specific relationships are beneficial to the meaning of
autonomy.
Relational autonomy calls for the restructuring of destructive
relations which stand in the way of achieving
autonomy and
therefore also stands in the way of achieving a positive concept of
home.

▼ Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease for which there is currently no cure or effective treatments. The disease has devastating effects on the individuals whom it strikes and because its prevalence continues to rise, it significantly threatens the public good. Throughout its lengthy duration from diagnosis to death there are numerous ethical issues concerning patients individually as well as society generally. The management of the burdens of Alzheimer’s disease presents a formidable ethical challenge from the perspective of patients and society. The ethics of care is adopted to address this problem because of its flexibility to integrate personal care needs with public good. An ethics of care approach can facilitate effective management of the burden of Alzheimer’s disease when its two components,
relational autonomy and social responsibility, are integrated and analyzed.
From the earliest stages to the most severe stages of Alzheimer’s disease the ethics of care can help to incorporate personal care and the public good, providing high-quality care while enhancing public wellbeing. The ethics of care is attentive to the need to engage clinical ethics with organizational ethics for the proper management of the disease. From the perspective of clinical ethics,
relational autonomy and social responsibility can address the ethical issues related to diagnosis in early stages to management in severe stages. From the perspective of organizational ethics, the focus upon
relational autonomy highlights the organizational components underlying quality of care, and the focus on social responsibility highlights the need to control costs and improve access to care. The ethics of care approach combines clinical and organizational ethics to manage the burden of Alzheimer’s disease in a manner that unites personal care and the public good in a sustainable and effective manner.

▼ This thesis develops an account of non-domination as a principle of legitimacy that ought to govern both inter-group and intra-group relations in multicultural states. It applies this principle to the question of how political institutions should respond to claims for the accommodation of controversial minority practices, using the example of the polygamous community in Bountiful, British Columbia. In developing this account, the thesis engages with three bodies of theoretical literature – of multiculturalism, of political legitimacy, and of autonomy.
In the dominant normative theories of multiculturalism, answers are centered on what the limits of toleration are, what it means to recognize a collective identity, or what group rights can be claimed and how group rights are balanced with individual rights. While not rejecting the importance of these issues in a pluralistic state, my approach de-centers them by subsuming them under the broader problem of what makes a political authority morally legitimate vis-à-vis particular collective - as well as abstract individual - subjects. I argue that the most promising response to this problem lies with the concept of non-domination, conceived as a foundational principle of political legitimacy for multicultural states. This principle both demands and checks a democratic method for determining specific forms of accommodation.
In some cases the advancement of non-domination between groups conflicts with the advancement of non-domination within groups. In political theory this question is often taken up by feminist scholars concerned with the ‘paradox of multicultural vulnerability’ and, more generally, with the dilemma of how to identify and critique internalized oppression while promoting full respect for individual moral agency. Borrowing from these debates, I outline a conception of the relational moral autonomy of the person and argue that it forms a necessary component of a non-domination- based analysis. The conclusion of the thesis with respect to minority social practices is that specific claims should be determined on the basis of a democratic process aimed at uncovering whether and when, all things considered, the accommodation of that particular practice is consistent with non-domination both between and within groups.

▼ Breast cancer social movements have, in many ways,
succeeded in increasing the visibility of the disease in North
America, yet researchers understand little about the effects of
this visibility; there is little information about how women with
breast cancer navigate breast cancer discourse. Feminist
relational
autonomy helps us to understand that women's degree of
autonomy in
making treatment decisions regarding their breast cancer is
affected by their understanding of the disease and available
options. I draw on the results of multiple qualitative interviews
and online discussion group posts from 12 women with breast cancer
in Nova Scotia, Canada, to examine the interconnections between
breast cancer discourse and approaches to decision-making. Many
representations of the best ways to “do” breast cancer cross the
boundaries of allopathic and homeopathic medicine, popular
self-help literature, and support services approaches to care,
making them extremely pervasive in women’s lives. An idealised
subject position that portrays women with breast cancer as strong,
positive survivors/thrivers connects to a context in which certain
identities are more likely to be accepted than others. Constraining
the identities worthy of social recognition, breast cancer
discourse is taken up in ways that limit the actions participants
could imagine and justify, and encourage self-governance and
discipline of others.

3000 Social Psychology
3660 Organizational Behavior
A presente investigação procurou perceber de que modo a forma de coodernação numa cultura organizacional influencia a motivação no trabalho. Desta forma, baseamo-nos na Teoria dos Modelos Relacionais (TMR) de Alan Fiske (1991, 1992) e na Teoria da Autodeterminação de Deci & Ryan (1985, 2000) para formar a nossa base teórica de pesquisa. A Teoria dos Modelos Relacionais descreve todas as relações sociais humanas como manifestações de comportamento de quatro construções fundamentais: Communal Sharing, Authority Ranking, Equality Matching e Market Pricing. Por sua vez, a Teoria da Autodeterminação afirma que para o indivíduo ter comportamentos mais autodeterminados e motivações mais intrínsecas devem ser satisfeitas as necessidades de autonomia, competência e relacionamento. Assim, o presente estudo procurou combinar as duas teorias de forma a compreender qual o impacto que a dominância de um Modelo Relacional numa dada organização tem na satisfação das necessidades dos seus colaboradores. Isto é, de que forma o Modelo Relacional vigente numa organização pode condicionar ou promover a satisfação das necessidades. Das hipóteses formuladas, apenas corroborámos a de que, quando o Modelo Relacional dominante é o Communal Sharing, foi satisfeita a necessidade de relacionamento. Todas as outras hipóteses provaram não ser verdadeiras.
Além disso, foi proposto um modelo de mediação no qual a variável dependente é a predominância do Modelo Relacional, as variáveis mediadoras as necessidades psicológicas básicas e a variável dependente o tipo de motivação que o colaborador tem. Surgiram alguns resultados interessantes que podem iniciar uma nova perspectiva sobre a forma como as necessidades psicológicas básicas são percebidas.
This research sought to understand how the dominanting way of coordinating in a organizational culture influences work motivation. Thereby we relied on Alan Page Fiske’s (1991, 1992) Relational Models Theory (RMT) and Deci & Ryan’s (1985, 2000) Self-Determination Theory (SDT) to form a theoretical basis for research. Relational Models Theory describes all human social relationships as behavior manifestations of four fundamental constructs: Communal Sharing, Authority Ranking, Equality Matching, and Market Pricing. In turn, the Self-Determination Theory argues that for the individual to achieve more self-determined behavior and more intrinsic motivations, must be satisfied the needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness. Thus, the present study sought to combine the two theories and understand what the impact of the dominance of the Relational Model in a given organization in meeting the needs of its employees. This is, how the Relational Model prevailing in the organization may constrain or promote the satisfaction of needs. About the hypotheses we have only corroborate that which the relational model is Communal Sharing, will be satisfied the need for…

▼ This thesis is an ethnographic inquiry into the embodied resistance practices of the climate justice movement Ende Gelände in Germany. By engaging with the actual protesting bodies of the climate justice movement, the thesis examines the possibilities of corporeal political contestation, and ultimately, transformation, in the times of climate turmoil. The actions of Ende Gelände suggest that, at times, our bodies are the only remaining media to bring about political change. While social movements and their role in the global climate governance have received scholarly interest, the corporeal techniques and relations structuring the practice of resistance are worthwhile a more in-depth study. Therefore, I have placed the protesting bodies of the Ende Gelände activists at the centre of the research. Informed by Feminist scholarship of International Relations, I approach resistance in this thesis as an embodied practice that consists of relations, techniques, repetition and improvisation. As the research focuses on the politico-corporeal struggle around climate justice, I have conceptualised the research design as a choreography. I use the notion choreography of resistance to refer to bodies organising through various strategies in order to address the intersecting issues of climate justice. My overarching research question is how does the resisting choreography of Ende Gelände contest the business-as-usual of our political economy driven by the extraction and use of fossil fuels. Consequently, I examine how the choreography of resistance emerges; how it works, and what kind of relationalities it entails; and eventually, what the resisting choreography of Ende Gelände does. Methodologically, I have applied embodied approaches to ethnography in my research and developed a body-based inquiry for the qualitative interviews. I conducted 12 multisensory interviews among the activists of Ende Gelände during the fieldwork in August 2017, in March and October 2018, and in June 2019. For the analysis, I animate the research data by composing impressionistic research portraits from the interviews and the fieldnotes.
The thesis demonstrates that resisting choreography of Ende Gelände is constituted by relations of care, violence and imagination. Moreover, it reflects on the corporeal consequences of climate turmoil in the individual activists and analyses the embodied repercussions of resistance in them. In the analysis, I pay attention to what these resisting practices do on micro, collective and structural layers of the choreography. The thesis argues that the resisting choreography exposes the sites of climate destruction, critically intervenes in the material and symbolic infrastructure of the fossil fuel-based political economy, and performatively fuels the political imagination of what is possible. The thesis discusses how the Ende Gelände climate activists present their claim for climate justice corporeally by crossing the border of legality. Moreover, the thesis elaborates on how the actions of Ende Gelände bridge the…

▼ Cancer affects about 1 in 1000 pregnancies, which is estimated to account for approximately 5000 pregnancies in Europe each year. Despite affluent availability of clinical practice guidelines for cancer management in the course of pregnancy, there is very little ethical guidance consolidated for everyday use. Therefore, the aim of this work is to construct a framework, which would serve healthcare professionals as a reference tool when addressing ethical issues in cancer care during pregnancy.
The framework is constructed around
relational approach to respect for patient’s
autonomy and ethics of care. It combines classical biomedical ethics principles and
relational approaches to patient care. It emphasizes the importance of recognising the patient as another human being with her views on life, relationships and wishes, as well as forming a relationship between the patient and healthcare team, which is known as
relational ethics.
However, respect for individual
autonomy is not discarded entirely. First and foremost, evidence-based information disclosure is essential to personalised patient care. The latter invites to integrate technical aspects of personalised medicine with
relational approach to patient care. Furthermore, protection of the vulnerable also serves as a safeguard ensuring that patient is not compelled to choices that are not her own.
Overall, this framework is expected to serve as a tool supporting ethical decision-making in cancer care during pregnancy. It can also be utilised by a variety of patient counselling services.

▼ Fólk með þroskahömlun sem þarf mikinn stuðning hefur haft takmarkaðan aðgang að námi og litla möguleika til að nýta sér nám í daglegu lífi. Gera má ráð fyrir því að þeim fjölgi sem geta nýtt sér aðstoðarfólk úr búsetuþjónustunni í námi. Því er þörf á að skilgreina hlutverk aðstoðarfólks betur í námi fatlaðs fólks. Tilgangur rannsóknarverkefnisins er að fá innsýn í það hvernig aðstoðarfólk sér fyrir sér þetta hlutverk. Þátttakendur í rannsókninni voru sex aðstoðarmenn sem höfðu reynslu af því að fylgja fólki á námskeið hjá Fjölmennt, símenntunar- og þekkingarmiðstöð. Fólkið sem naut aðstoðar þeirra tjáði sig með óhefðbundnum tjáskiptaaðferðum og þurfti mikinn stuðning í daglegu lífi. Um er að ræða eigindlega rannsókn sem byggir á félagslegum tengslaskilningi á fötlun, hugmyndafræðinni um sjálfstætt líf og hugmyndum um aðstæðubundið sjálfræði. Tekin voru hálfopin viðtöl við þátttakendur á tímabilinu mars 2018 til janúar 2019. Gögnin voru skoðuð í ljósi kenninga um yfirfærslu náms í fullorðinsfræðslu og hugmynda um virkan stuðning (e. active support). Í niðurstöðunum kom fram hvernig viðmælendur mótuðu hlutverk sitt og greind voru þrjú ólík hlutverk aðstoðarfólks sem í verkefninu nefnast milliliðurinn, stuðningsaðilinn og hinn hlutlausi fylgdarmaður. Í ljós kom að sjaldgæft væri að unnið væri markvisst að yfirfærslu náms á daglegt líf þrátt fyrir að viðmælendur nefndu tilbreytingarleysi sem algengan vanda í lífi fólksins sem þeir aðstoðuðu. Upplýsingamiðlun og samstarf vegna námsins var almennt ábótavant og það skorti skýrari stefnu og eftirfylgni frá stjórnendum í búsetuþjónustunni. Út frá niðurstöðunum má draga þá ályktun að bæta þurfi viðhorf til mikilvægis náms, sjálfræðis í námi og yfirfærslu náms fyrir fólk með þroskahömlun sem þarf mikinn stuðning. Auk þess þarf að bæta leiðbeiningar um hlutverk aðstoðarfólks og skapa aukinn vettvang til samstarfs. Niðurstöður rannsóknarinnar benda til þess að innleiðing nálgunar um virkan stuðning í búsetuþjónustu, ásamt breytingum á þjónustukerfinu í átt að notendastýrðri persónulegri aðstoð, geti stutt við hlutverk aðstoðarfólks í námi fatlaðs fólks og haft jákvæð áhrif á daglegt líf fólks með þroskahömlun sem þarf mikinn stuðning.; People with intellectual disabilities requiring more intensive support have had limited access to education and few opportunities to apply their learning in daily life. It is predicted that the percentage of those able to benefit from an assistant from their support service throughout lifelong learning will continue to grow, and it is thus necessary to better define the role of assistants in relation to the lifelong learning of disabled people. The purpose of this research is to gain insight into how assistants envision this role. The participants in this study were six assistants who had experience attending courses at Fjölmennt, adult education center with the people they assisted. The people who received assistance utilized augmentative methods of communication, and needed intensive support from day to day. This study presents qualitative…

▼ This research explored psychological, social, and
relational aspects of caregiving. It examined documented resolution of ethical dilemmas precipitated by veteransâ medical crises and involved formal caregivers, informal caregivers, and veteran patients. The unit of analysis was caregiving relationships.
The main research question asked, how does case documentation and documented processes of resolving ethical dilemmas in institutional healthcare for veterans reflect
relational ethics?
Relational ethics was defined as fairness of interpersonal give and take and included efforts to elicit, understand, and honor veteranâ s values and care preferences.
The caregiving context was a Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC). The research population was 25 male veterans whose cases required intervention by the VAMC ethics committee. The research was conducted in three phases using grounded theory methodology. The research purpose, guided by symbolic interaction theory, was to develop substantive theory in
relational ethics. Study analyses used Atlas.ti qualitative software.
Main study one, Veteran-Formal Caregiver Relations, focused on
relational processes internal to the VAMC. It explored how members of professional healthcare disciplines documented ethical caregiving concerns amongst themselves and in interactions with veteran patients. Agency emerged as the core category. Agency meant that veteran patients could make choices and act on those choices in ways that impacted their care. When veteransâ agency was compromised, formal caregiversâ roles became more salient. The substantive theory was the dynamic process of clarifying agency.
Main study two, Formal-Informal Caregiver Relations, focused on interactions between VAMC staff and veteransâ significant others. It explored medical center staff communications with informal caregivers regarding veteransâ health problems. Documented interactions confirmed the impact of
relational ethics. Agendas and advocacy emerged as key categories that determined and respected veteransâ
relational autonomy.
Relational autonomy validated other ethical concerns and resource demands, considered social context, and included obligations as well as entitlements. The substantive theory was the agenda to advocate for
relational autonomy.
Substantive theories from the two main studies were integrated. Categorical dimensions were combined into substantive theory; that doing the right thing in institutional caregiving for veterans was the dynamic process of clarifying agency with the agenda to advocate for
relational autonomy.

▼ This thesis considers the prospects for including respect for patient
autonomy as a value in veterinary medical ethics. Chapter One considers why philosophers have traditionally denied
autonomy to animals and why this is problematic; I also present contemporary accounts of animal ethics that recognize animals' capacity for and exercise of
autonomy (or something similar, such as agency) as morally important. In Chapter Two, I review veterinary medical ethics today, finding that respect for patient
autonomy is undiscussed or rejected outright as irrelevant. Extrapolating mainstream medical ethics' account of
autonomy to veterinary medicine upholds this conclusion, as it would count all patients as "never-competent" and consider determining their autonomous choices impossible; thus welfare alone would be relevant. Chapter Three begins, in Part I, by describing the ways we routinely override patient
autonomy in veterinary practice, both in terms of which interventions are selected and how care is delivered. I also show that some trends in the field suggest a nascent, implicit respect for patient
autonomy. Part II of Chapter Three presents feminist criticisms of the mainstream approach to patient
autonomy. I argue that the
relational approach to
autonomy advocated by such critics can be meaningfully applied in the veterinary realm. I advance an approach that conceives respect for patient
autonomy in diachronic and dialogic terms, taking the patient as the foremost locus of respect. In Chapter Four, I turn to issues of practical implementation, such as interpreting what constitutes an animal's values and concerns, and assessing the effect of positive reinforcement training on
autonomy. The Conclusion offers areas for future research while refuting the objection that a simpler, expanded welfare-based approach would yield the same substantive recommendations as my account.

▼ Abstract
This narrative research focuses on teachers’ perceptions of autonomy because of its importance to job commitment, efficiency, satisfaction, and motivation. A positive perception of autonomy relates to teachers’ feelings of competency, empowerment and professionalism. The overall importance of and desire for autonomy may be symptomatic of teachers’ reactions to obtain more, or to keep the autonomy they have. Previous studies have often depicted teacher autonomy as individualistic, comprising freedom from control. However, this research challenges the appropriateness of this conceptualisation of teacher autonomy by asking how upper-secondary school mathematics teachers perceive their autonomy in different contexts. To display contextual variations, the interviews with 15 upper-secondary school mathematics teachers from Canada and 12 from Finland were based mainly on open-ended questions. The contents of the teachers’ narratives were analysed in their whole and by comparing categories of narratives from one context to another.
The findings suggest that context influences how teachers perceive their autonomy. They also reveal that trust plays a decisive role in whether teachers feel autonomous or not, that trust plays a central to the relationships teachers have at work, and that autonomy inextricably exists in relations. Consequently, this research claims that the spectrum of autonomy for teachers should be expanded beyond its current individuality, to include a broader, more relational understanding of autonomy. A core argument of this research is therefore that teacher autonomy needs to be reconceptualised as relying on contextual sensitivities and relationships. By providing a more comprehensive conceptualisation of teacher autonomy—i.e., one which is more context-sensitive and which focuses on teachers’ concerns—the findings of this research supports more empowering ways for teachers to exert a proactive influence on their own autonomy.
Teachers’ perception of their autonomy is of practical and academic importance. Teachers who feel satisfied, supported, empowered and autonomous are more committed and motivated, which in turn advances better, more adaptive, and more adequate teacher education.
Tiivistelmä
Tämän narratiivisen tutkimuksen kohteena ovat opettajien käsitykset autonomiasta. Ne ovat tärkeitä työhön sitoutumisen, tehokkuuden, tyytyväisyyden, ja motivaation kannalta. Myönteisellä käsityksellä autonomiasta on merkitystä opettajien tuntemuksiin pätevyydestä, voimaantumisesta ja ammattitaidosta. Autonomian arvostaminen ja tarve autonomiaan voivat kertoa opettajien halusta pitää kiinni autonomiastaan tai lisätä sen määrää. Aiempi kirjallisuus kuvaa opettajan autonomiaa yksilökeskeisenä, vapaana ulkopuolisesta kontrollista. Tämä tutkimus haastaa yksilökeskeisen näkemyksen kysymällä, miten lukion opettajat eri konteksteista kokevat autonomiansa. Kontekstuaalisten vaihtelujen tutkimista varten haastateltiin 15 lukion matematiikan opettajaa Kanadasta ja 12 lukion matematiikan opettajaa Suomesta…

▼ This thesis examines Doe v. Canada, a case brought before the Ontario Court of Appeals with the purpose to declare that the definition of “assisted conception” set forth by the respective regulations discriminated against lesbian women. The regulatory framework of assisted conception is embedded with heteronormativity, heterosexism and an over medicalization of reproduction. The traditional liberal conception of rights, embedded in the Court’s decision did not allowed lesbian women to have access to assisted conception free from barriers that other women, seeking insemination with semen donated by their spouse or sexual partner, do not have to endure. However, If we shift our perspective of rights from a liberal view to a relational approach, we will be able consider such decisions from a perspective that takes into account not only the physical health implications of the use of this technology, but also all other social, psychological and contextual relevant factors.

▼ ABSTRACT
My thesis tackles the debate regarding (in)compatibility of rational moral philosophy and caring theory. My thesis argues and demonstrates that by unifying Noddings’ caring theory with ethic(s) of care presented by scholars from social and political science, in both practice and
relational ground, the new caring theory not only is compatible with rational moral philosophy, but is also more inclusive and capable to face the challenges derived from the modern information technologies age.
My thesis first identifies four core components presented by various caring theorists and then integrates them into a neocaring theory. These four components are caring nature, caring as activity, contextuality or motivation replacement, and
relational ontology. Second, I apply both Merleau-Ponty’s theory of intersubjectivity and Nāgārjuna’s philosophy of dependent co-arising to bridge the gap between Noddindgs’ scaring theory and Tront-Hankivsky’s interconnection and interdependent nature. This new
relational ground or
relational ontology, therefore, is expanded to embrace three characteristics of human existence: first, the fabric of human existence is the synthesized field of subjectivity and objectivity, the public and the private, as well as rationality and affectivity; second, human life is an ongoing process of becoming and synthesizing; and third, humans and sociopolitical activity are interconnected with and interdependent on each other, and thereby, they are mutually conditioned and supplementary .
Based on the four core components and three characteristics of neocaring theory, I construct a neocaring theory of
autonomy, and meanwhile demonstrate the way in which Kant’s moral
autonomy is included in this new theory. In the final chapter, I conclude my thesis by showing the differences that the neocaring theory of
autonomy can make compared to that of Kant and neoliberalism with respect to tackling problems emerging from the modern digital age, and administrating higher education, respectively. Lastly, my thesis shows the way in which moral education will affect our society and the formation of citizenship, and the way in which the neocaring theory of
autonomy can help to nurture students’ caring mind with reflecting on the interdependent nature of human existence to become a positive netizen in the digital age.

▼ This thesis examines the policy implications of the legal treatment of caregivers of the elderly in Canada and Australia and how this can inform law and policy reforms in Canada. Legislation and policy on the formal care system and supports for informal caregivers of the elderly in Canada and Australia are described, with a focus on BC and Ontario in Canada. These supports are analyzed and evaluated through the lens of
relational autonomy. Australia for the most part has more supports than Canada, although improvements can be made to these supports to make them more effective in supporting informal caregivers in Canada. My policy recommendations include increasing formal care for seniors, recognizing caregivers in legislation, requiring consultation with caregivers, providing a comprehensive and coordinated range of financial and employment supports, providing support for emotional and educational needs of informal caregivers, and increasing government-provided information on caregiving and available supports.

▼ Persons with cognitive disabilities and nonhuman animals are denied the right to make personal choices because it is claimed that they are not autonomous, for autonomy requires the capacity to revise one’s preferences and to have second-order desires. In this thesis, I argue first that this account of autonomy (that I call ‘rational autonomy’) does not provide a satisfying foundation to the right to make personal choices and to the interest in liberty, even for the paradigmatic cases of humans deemed rational agents; second, I propose and develop a new conception, named ‘inclusive autonomy’, that is intended to do justice to rational agents, persons with cognitive abilities, and nonhuman animals.
This enquiry involves multiple steps. First, I criticize the way rational autonomy intends to support a right to make personal choices, by arguing it is empirically inaccurate, that it could be perfectionist or elitist if it is deemed as a requirement rather than a value to promote, and that it generally fails to explain why choices that have not been rationally revised cannot be protected by the right in question. Second, I argue that persons with cognitive disabilities and nonhuman animals also possess an interest in liberty, and especially an objective interest in non-domination, and for the same reasons as rational agents. Third, after assessing a few notable alternatives to rational autonomy, I identify four desiderata for a satisfying conception: the balance between the right to take risks and paternalism, the antidomination requirement, the anti-ableist requirement, and the social support requirement. Inclusive autonomy, defined as the ability to form subjectively defined goods, is equipped to address these desiderata if it is further supplied by an account of preference formation and a theory of paternalism. For these reasons, I explain how the structuring of opportunities and the interest in non-domination can help individuals to develop authentic preferences, even when they are unable to revise their desires; and I discuss three provisos—the competence threshold, the social support principle, and the limited intervention requirement—that impose conditions for paternalistic interventions while enabling agents to enjoy autonomy to the greatest extent possible.

▼ Colorado Senate Bill 10-191, the Great Teachers and Leaders Bill (SB 191) passed in 2010 in support of the U.S. Department of Education’s Race to the Top program and No Child Left Behind Act, mandated increased teacher and principal accountability by affirming improved teacher evaluation will advance K-12 schooling. As a result, the 27,000-student Pioneer Valley School District (PVSD) in Colorado initiated a new evaluation protocol weighting 50% of teacher and principal summative performance ratings on professional practice using a new instrument called the 5 Dimensions+ Teacher Evaluation Rubric (5D+), and 50% on student achievement data using a PVSD-created value-added model (VAM). Because school principals evaluate teachers this paper uses an embedded case study and Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behavior (2006) as the conceptual framework to simultaneously consider how attitude toward a behavior (behavioral beliefs), social pressure (normative beliefs), and behavioral controls (control beliefs) influence principals’ decisions when evaluating teachers within the context of conflicting social forces and the collegial interactions which may contribute to or challenge
relational trust and the status quo. While the content of teacher evaluations written by building principals is typically invisible to outsiders due to the confidential nature of personnel files, the ramifications of evaluation decisions are keenly felt by school and district insiders, embedded in the broader educational environment, and inherently multilevel. The purpose of this study then is to build an analytical hypothesis using descriptive data from in-depth interviews and document analysis to examine principals’ perceptions, interpretations, and actions in the context of teacher evaluation that can be refined and tested in future empirical research.

▼ In this dissertation I examine ethical issues that concern fertility preservation (FP) technologies for women from a feminist perspective. FP technologies involve the removal, cryopreservation and subsequent storage of reproductive materials for future use. The aim of these technologies is to preserve the option of future genetic reproduction. FP technologies have been developed in the cancer context because infertility is one of the long-term side-effects of many cancers or cancer therapies. Many FP technologies are still experimental, but some technologies are becoming available to healthy women who wish to guard against age-related infertility. Although FP technologies are expanding women’s reproductive options and benefitting some women by satisfying their desires for genetically-related children, these technologies pose numerous physical, emotional and financial risks to women. I maintain that a feminist examination of choice is necessary for the ethical provision of FP technologies within patriarchal contexts. My analysis begins by demarcating two oppressive social biases from one another: namely pronatalism and biologism. I argue that each of these biases can unduly influence women’s reproductive choices about FP technologies. I then consider how these biases might be identified and challenged in the FP decision-making context. I outline an ethical process of informed choice that is equipped to protect patient autonomy when such autonomy is threatened by these biases. I then consider whether the choice to use FP should be available to both women within and without the cancer contexts. I argue that both disease-related FP and age-related FP can be morally permissible. Finally, I consider whether there should be an upper age limit on women’s access to their stored reproductive materials. I argue that age can be morally relevant to reproduction and thus age limits on access to assisted reproduction are morally permissible. I conclude by suggesting how feminist insights might inform policies on FP technologies and related assisted reproductive technologies. In sum, my dissertation shows that a feminist analysis of choices about FP is essential for ensuring the ethical provision of FP technologies.
