23 min - J. L. A. Garcia on Racism (341, sp 2022)
In this episode, I review philosopher J. L. A. Garcia's view of racism. He defends an agentialist conception of racism and defends an "infection model" of systemic racism. It's really fascinating stuff.
24 min - Ibram X. Kendi on Racism (Phil 341, Spring 2022)
This review looks over Ibram X. Kendi's view of the concept of racism found in his book, How to Be an Antiracist. Also, as discussed in class, I review three different views about the definition of racism: strict agentialism, strict structuralism, and hybrid views. I close by considering possible conceptual challenges for Kendi's view as well as considering possible responses to those challenges. The discussion in and outside of class has been wonderful.
