Philosophy Department C3 Fellow Daniel Rodriguez-Navas

Reflection on certain sorts of cases suggests that although not decisive in determining what we ought, all things considered, to believe, the epistemic status of our beliefs should, nevertheless, weigh with us. Put differently, it seems that one has pro tanto reason(s) to believe in ways that conform with and to avoid believing in ways that violate epistemic norms. - A philosophy lecture by Kate Nolfi, Ph.D. University of Vermont

Sally Haslanger, Ford Professor of Philosophy and Women’s & Gender Studies Massachusetts Institute of Technology Culture frames the possibilities for thought and action so that certain morally relevant facts are eclipsed and others distorted. This results in shared practices that are unjust and oppressive. Resistance may be made by individuals, but there are many reasons that it is best undertaken as a collective enterprise. My talk will elaborate this view and consider when social movements legitimately demand our support.
