Discrimination remains a largely neglected topic in philosophy. This is surprising in several respects. Discrimination is of central relevance to a wide range of subdisciplines in philosophy. But since the emergence of anti-discrimination law in the late twentieth century, almost all scholarship on discrimination theory has taken place in law journals; these works mainly focus on matters of legal doctrine. Moreover, several recent developments—political changes (such as the recent weaponization of anti-discrimination norms and law), technological progress (such as the explosive growth of machine learning and AI in reshaping our social world), and theoretical developments (such as new work that presses on the conceptual boundaries of discriminatory action)—make the topic more philosophically significant than ever. In light of this, we are hosting a workshop for new work on discrimination theory.
Along with the eight talks listed above, there will be comments by:
- Shalom Chalson
- Hugo Cossette-Lefebvre
- Katie Creel
- Myracka D’Leeuwen
- Ying Huang
- Zinhle Mncube
- Christian Nakazawa, and
- Meredith Sheeks.
