Carol Gilligan is a Professor of Humanities and Applied Psychology at New York University and was a Visiting Professor at the Centre for Gender Studies and Jesus College at the University of Cambridge until 2009. She was a member of the Harvard faculty for over 30 years and held the University’s first chair in Gender Studies. Along with Lyn Mikel Brown and students and colleagues at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, she developed The Listening Guide.

Natasha Mauthner is a Professor of Social Science Philosophy and Method at Newcastle University, where she founded the Methods Hub in 2020. She previously worked at the Universities of Edinburgh and Aberdeen. She and Andrea Doucet learned the Listening Guide from Carol Gilligan as doctoral students at the University of Cambridge. Natasha later co-taught the method with Carol Gilligan at Harvard University. Her experiences using and teaching the Listening Guide in non-Western contexts have led her to reconceptualise the method through feminist posthumanist and post/decolonial frameworks.

Andrea Doucet is a Distinguished Professor in Sociology and Women's and Gender Studies at Brock University, Honorary Professor at University College London, and a former Canada Research Chair in Gender, Work, and Care. She and Natasha Mauthner learned the Listening Guide from Carol Gilligan during their doctoral studies at the University of Cambridge and later collaborated to develop it further. Her work in ecological and feminist epistemologies, feminist care ethics, and Indigenous community-based research underpin her current writing on the Listening Guide as a care ethics method.
