2023-2025 HOPE Visiting Scholar, Soroush Maouzi, is this years recipient for the JHET Early Scholar Award. Soroush was recognized for his paper, " Frank Plumpton Ramsey and the Politics of Motherhood". The article is beautifully written, offers a neat balance of primary and secondary sources, and skillfully blends intellectual history with social history. Ramsey held a positive view of the feminist campaign for family endowment. He demanded government financial support for motherhood in recognition of the economic significance of women’s domestic works, which, as such, could bring economic independence to them. In addition, he found such an economic scheme compatible with the kind of maternalism endorsed by Freudian psychoanalysis—his favorite theory of psychology.
Congratulations Soroush!
