I believe a worthy research project would involve creating a synthesis between enactive cognitive science, other aspects of Varela’s work, and scholarship relating to diversity and difference. This synthesis has the potential to generate both theoretical and eminently practical means to counteract discrimination, and its effects, and create more equitable and sustainable societies. This research project would not only tackle ethical issues but also provide the impetus for new developments in ethics.
In particular I believe it would be worth investigating how an the embodied aspects of this form of Cog. Sci. could be usefully applied within the feminist movement.
