DESCRIPTION:<p>When we make a claim &ndash\; any claim &ndash\; we do many things. I identify a range of &ldquo\;pragmatic functions&rdquo\; that accompany any act of asserting and show that these pragmatic functions can have substantive epistemological and political implications.&nbsp\; I outline three models of solidarity engagement &ndash\; that is\, research\, activism\, organizing\, material support\, or other social engagement that aims for solidarity with an oppressed group that one is not a part of. Each&nbsp\; model has advantages and each can be the right way to engage in solidarity in a particular context\, but the first two have&nbsp\;negative pragmatic effects that must be taken into account in all situations. As a result\, it is worth considering ways to employ the third model &ndash\; &ldquo\;shutting up&rdquo\; - while maintaining some of the advantages of the first two. I conclude with a case-study of a five-year research/pedagogy/activism project &ndash\; the Truth Telling Project - which grew out of organizing in response to the murder of Mike Brown Jr in Ferguson\, MO.</p>
