intensive course investigates the ethical dimensions of attention. We live in
the attention economy, where attention is commodified and manipulated.
Attentional crises abound: big tech, social media, and the pandemic have eroded
people’s attentional capacities. Attention, though, is paramount to personal
and institutional flourishing. Attending to people, places, and projects is at
the heart of love, community, justice, good relationships, creativity, art,
education, and mental health. It is also a central, but overlooked, component
of justice. We can wrong each other with attention patterns. Improper attention
can also create unfair and dangerous social disparities; scientists might
overlook medical differences between women and men, for example, and fail to
notice this oversight. And yet theorists lack adequate frameworks for
conceptualising and assessing this. There is a dearth of research on attention,
and the ethics of attention is seldom featured in university
courses.  </span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif"></span></p>
