Philosophy of Race: Engaged Philosophy After Trump

Philosophy of Race: Engaged Philosophy After Trump is a conference hosted by the University of Washington's Department of Philosophy.

The philosophy department at the University of Washington, Seattle is proud to announce a graduate conference on the Philosophy of Race: Engaged Philosophy After Trump to be held virtually on May 22nd (date may be subject to change). The keynote speaker is our own José Mendoza.In the wake of a tumultuous four years under former President Donald Trump, the white majority and the nation at large have been forcefully confronted with the stark reality of racism in the United States— long evident to many but ignored by many others. And these last four years have a body count: Rayshard Brooks, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor-- black lives ended by police violence. This is not to mention the Latinx lives, among others, ripped apart by ICE raids; the caged children at the border; the rising rate of hate crimes; the highest amount of federal executions since the 19th century; or the frontline workers, disproportionately people of color, who lost their lives during a global pandemic. Yet, in a moment that seems to demand moral censure, individual accountability, and structural change, many continue to insist upon a policy of color-blindness. This conference is a call to action in the opposite direction.Admission is free. This conference will feature talks on engaged philosophy of race, broadly construed. Select papers will be distributed to attendees prior to the conference.Schedule 9:00am-9:50am: Julian Davis (Stanford University)“Segregation and Inequality: ‘Separate But Equal’ Strikes Back” 10:00am-10:50am: Joy Shim (Princeton University)“Perspectival Domination”11:00am-11:50am:Elina Esther Castellano Tejada (University of Washington)“How White Feminism Excludes Black Women”12:00pm: Lunch1:00pm-1:50pm: Reese Haller (University of Oregon) “Rethinking Anti-Racist Politics: Racial Hypostasis in Trump’s Wake” 2:00pm-2:50pm: Zeinab Nobowati (University of Oregon)“Critical Theory and the (Im)Moral Psychology of Racism”3:00pm: Cody Charles Dout (University of Washington)“Malcolm X and the Philosophy of Self-Respect: Persuasion in an Era of Violence”4:00pm (Keynote): José Jorge Mendoza (University of Washington)5:30pm: Reception
