PHIL-251 Philosophy of Race & Gender
Histories of oppression such as patriarchy, chattel slavery, and colonialism have structured our institutions, patterns of interaction, and even built environments. These legacies echo in the present moment in the context of social movements that seek to achieve equality, liberation, and recognition. In this coure we will examine race and gender - what they might be, how they might interact with sexuality, class,(dis)ability, and nationality, and how these topics bear on some perennial issues of philosophical inquiry, including knowledge, identity, action, and justice. 1 term - 4 credits. Normally offered alternate years.
