On Race and Philosophy Conference
\nDATE AND TIME
\nLOCATION
\nVirtual event
\n5998 Alcala ParkSan Diego\, CA 92110 \;
\nDETAILS
\nThe deaths of George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, Tamir Rice and others have given rise to the need for a deeper conversation about race&mdash\;a conversation to which philosophy is well equipped to contribute. In contributing to this necessary conversation\, two members of the philosophy department present a conference. This conference has the aim of elucidating positions within academic discussions of\, as well as evoke thought about\, race. The conference will engage a broad range of questions from a philosophical perspective but will do so in a way that can be appreciated by both those interested in disciplines other than philosophy as well as a broader public audience. Sponsored by the Humanities Center and the Values Institute. Coordinated by Corey Barnes\, PhD\, and Marilynn Johnson\, PhD\, from the Department of Philosophy.
