Jane Addams was a public philosopher, activist, and peacebuilder deeply committed to supporting and engaging with displaced people. This chapter works to demonstrate the continued relevance of her feminist-pragmatist orientation to twenty-first-century refugee resettlement, drawing on her concept of cosmic patriotism and her practices of hospitality. Considering contemporary engagements with displaced peoples and refugee resettlement efforts, this chapter explores how we can continue to work toward Addams’s humanitarian aim of ultimately “substituting nurture for warfare.” The chapter suggests that moral obligations involve but are not exhausted by nation-states alone as they meet or fail to meet expectations and agreements for refugee resettlement. Addams’s legacy reveals the moral care work that communities and individuals alike have opportunities to offer as they engage with refugees and asylum seekers, tending to their well-being and ultimately sharing in and shaping community life together. |
