\nABSTRACT:
\nIn discussions of how to mitigate political and cultural polarization\, we are often told that we should listen to our opponents. But should we listen regardless of what they say&mdash\;even to derogatory speech? From the standpoint of philosophy\, the prescription to listen lacks subtlety\, and we cannot reach greater subtlety without a philosophical account of listening itself. In my recent work\, I distinguish between listening and hearing and argue that listening to derogatory speech in the context of a conversation is sometimes morally wrong. In this talk\, I expand my account\, particularly with respect to how power dynamics affect who counts as a conversational participant.
