Summary
M Kathy Rudy is an associate professor of women's studies and ethics at Duke University. Rudy's work is often interdisciplinary as she merges philosophy, theology, politics, feminism, and medical ethics. She is open about her homosexuality, and is a radical social constructionist. Rudy's current projects include A Good Enough Mother — a personal and intellectual examination of the U.S. foster care system from the perspective of a failed adoptive parent — and Hollywood Theology — an examination of the ways that meaning is produced with and in the world of film. Rudy penned a controversial opinion piece that alleged that white culture hypocrisy was responsible for the prosecution of admitted animal abuser Michael Vick.
