On this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ and Dr. Linda Alcoff discuss the life and work of Charles Mills, a radical philosopher who made significant contributions to the methodology of political philosophy. Dr. Alcoff explores Mills' emphasis on the importance of understanding the historical and political context in which ideas are developed, arguing for a shift from ideal theory to non-ideal theory. She also highlights his discussion of the epistemology of ignorance, which examines the ways in which knowledge is shaped and limited by social and political factors. Additionally, Dr. Alcoff calls to attention the significance of Mills' focus on race and colonialism, along with his efforts to challenge misconceptions and exclusions within liberalism.Make sure to check out Dr. Alcoff's article: The Life of Charles Mills, Radical Philosopher Extraordinaire

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Racist Suspect Dr. Nicky Falkof live from Mexico. A White Woman born in South Africa, Dr. Falkof is on an academic/business trip to the western hemisphere, although her research focus investigates Racism in South Africa. A writer and academic based in Johannesburg, Dr. Falkof "works in the Media Studies department at Wits University. Her research is concerned with race and anxiety in the urban global south, with a particular interest in whiteness." Importantly, Dr. Falkof was reared by a black female maid, Joyce Insele. That should be at the center of any White's person discussion about Racism/Whiteness. Gus found Dr. Falkof's report on the rampant concerns about White male homosexuality in S. Africa during the 1980's and 90's when the apartheid system was under intense global scrutiny. Apparently, in an area with a small number of people classified as White, there was grave concern about any White people deviating from what is expected of White Men and White Women. Just like yesterday's White guest (Dr. Mark Neocleous), Dr. Falkof interrupted Gus to insert misinformation. Gus asked Dr. Falkof if non-white people can practice White Supremacy, and she said: yes. Minutes later, she behaved as if she did not say this. #Deception She used identical Racist Jargon as Dr. Linda Alcoff, who told us just last week about "white presenting" and "white adjacent" people who practice Racism. #HonoraryWhite #RacialClassificationConfusion #ApartheidIsWhiteSupremacy #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

It takes courage to own your story, especially for trauma survivors. Jessie Roth shows us, in this episode, the power of storytelling, showing up as your full self with the multiple roles and identities you hold and why it's important to intentionally straddle frameworks to re-story your experiences as a form of healing. As the director of The Institute for the Development of Human Arts, she's also a master at facilitating cross-movement knowledge building at the intersections of mental health and social justice. Jessie and I also discuss: how to advocate as a family member of someone with mental health concerns why “being a voice for the voiceless” gets a lot wrong about autonomy and decision-making in mental health what it means to “decarcerate mental health care” and why it's crucial Jessie Roth is a writer and movement organizer with more than a decade of experience at the intersection of mental health and social justice. She is the Director of the Institute for the Development of Human Arts (IDHA), a transformative mental health training institute bringing together mental health workers, peers, survivors, activists, artists, and other advocates for education and community development. Inspired by personal and family mental health experiences, Jessie's work is focused on the healing power of storytelling and the importance of cross-movement organizing for mental health liberation. A longtime IDHA member, Jessie supported the development of initiatives such as Mental Health Trialogue, a forum bridging the perspectives of peers, family members, and providers; and Decarcerating Care, an ongoing panel series discussing the carceral nature of the mental health system, rooted in the voices and experiences of survivors. Her writing has been published in We've Been Too Patient: An Anthology of Voices from Radical Mental Health, the Intima Journal of Narrative Medicine, and the Village Voice. She is also an avid home cook, passionate about the power of cooking as a care-centered creative practice.

The HBS hosts ask Dr. Linda Alcoff just how close to the edge of the bed is the United States sleeping?A year and a half ago, as an angry, armed mob stormed the U.S. Capitol building in what was, thankfully, an unsuccessful insurrection attempt, many of us watching the event unfold on television asked ourselves: is democracy itself in peril? This is, of course, a question we should have been asking for many years prior to Jan 6, 2021. And it is a question we should still be asking. At the federal level, an activist and regressive Supreme Court is aggressively chipping away at the rights of citizens, and an almost perpetually-stalemated Congress refuses to act on real existential threats (like climate change, COVID, and income inequality). At the state level, more than half of the legislatures have restricted voting rights, gun regulation, and protections for BIPOC, women, LGBTQ people, and the poor. States' legislatures are busy gerrymandering districts, under-funding public education, over-funding police, and extending corporate welfare tax benefits carte blanche, while at the same time refusing to raise the minimum wage for workers, mitigate the affordable housing crisis, repair crumbling infrastructure, or exhibit even the most minimally-decent concern for the good of their citizens. Meanwhile, the average U.S. citizen is sick, indebted, demoralized, underinformed (or misinformed), and disillusioned. Why vote? Why care? What has democracy done for me lately? Today, we're going to be talking about the peril(s) that democracy is facing, how we should think about them, and what, if anything, we can do about them.We are honored to be joined by Linda Martin Alcoff, Professor of Philosophy at Hunter College and CUNY Graduate Center. Prof. Alcoff is the author, most recently of Rape and Resistence: Understanding the Compoexities of Sexual Violation and The Future of Whiteness.Full episode notes at this link:http://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-70-democracy-in-peril-with-linda-alcoff-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe, submit a rating/review, and follow us on Twitter @hotelbarpodcast.You can also help keep this podcast going by supporting us financially at patreon.com/hotelbarsessions. 

In 2021, the Republicans have used racial dog whistles around critical race theory, “parents rights” and other manufactured culture war controversies to energize their base, especially in Virginia where their candidate won the governor's race. In our election night special, we speak with Linda Martín Alcoff, author of T'he Future of Whiteness,' about this and how the Left should respond. We also speak with Alex Han, executive director of Organizing Upgrade, about the impact of national Democrats being unable to deliver on their promises in a moment of surging right-wing populism.

Du Bois, and Sandra Bartky. This conversation was recorded in the Fall 2017, before the protests for racial and social justice that have defined 2020 in the US and beyond. It is as relevant today as it was back then. We The Pupils is produced by Jules Salomone-Sehr. It was made possible by a Public Humanities Fellowship funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and supervised by the Center for the Humanities (The Graduate Center, CUNY). Theme music: Vanache. Introductory words: Fitch and Vall.

What are races and racial groups? Do they even exist? In this first two-part episode, students engage in conversation with Linda Alcoff (Hunter College & The Graduate Center, CUNY) and explore race and racial embodiment. (TW racist violence: 24:08 till the end.) Prior to this recorded conversation, students read and discussed: A Theory of Race, by Joshua Glasgow (Routledge, 2009); and "Towards a phenomenology of racial embodiment," by Linda Alcoff (Radical Philosophy, 1999). In the conversation, you'll hear Linda Alcoff refer to the work of Robert Gooding-Williams (Columbia University), Paul C. Taylor (Vanderbilt University), Gerald Torres (Yale University), and Claude Steele (University of California, Berkeley).

Today, we're talking with Charles Mills, Linda Alcoff, and Shelley Tremain about a more specific issue than we have in our previous episodes. That said, it's an issue that we believe connects up with racism and ableism not only in the discipline of philosophy, but also racism and ableism as it is experienced globally. In particular, we want to talk about the news that came out several weeks ago about a seven year, $2.78 million grant that was awarded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for a project entitled “Extending New Narratives in the History of Philosophy”. While the goals of the project sound great, “to change the standards of practice in philosophy to enable the discipline to become inclusive and diverse by retrieving philosophical works of women and individuals from other marginalized groups across historical periods from 1400 through 1940 and sustaining the presence of these figures and their works in the history of philosophy” you all will immediately notice that the project is run almost exclusively by white women, with a few white men thrown in. Some might even say that it also seems to be primarily interested in uncovering the works of white women. There was a good deal of discussion about this at the DailyNous and the philosophy internet world.

In this episode: An anonymous intellectual leader of the leftist extremist movement Antifa is identified, labor unions and corporations join together to raise consumer prices for Americans, and the nominally “non-partisan” watchdog organization CREW deepens its ties to the institutional left.

More at https://www.philosophytalk.org/shows/racial-profiling-and-implicit-bias. Whether for counterterrorism measures, street level crime, or immigration, racial profiling of minorities occurs frequently. However, racial profiling is illegal under many jurisdictions and many might say ineffective. Is racial profiling ever moral or is it always an unjustified form of racism? Is there any evidence that certain races or ethnic groups have a tendency to behave in particular ways? Or is racial stereotyping a result of deeply-held biases we're not even aware of? Ken and guest host Jenann Ismael share their profiles with Linda Alcoff from the City University of New York, author of "Visible Identities: Race, Gender, and the Self."

Myisha Cherry chats with philosopher, Linda Alcoff, about white exceptionalism, white double consciousness, the future of whiteness, and much more.

The Laura C. Harris Series welcomes Linda Alcoff, professor of philosophy at Hunter College and Laura Gray-Rosendalep, professor of English at Northern Arizona State University presenting "College Girl: Telling our Transgressive Survivor Stories." Alcoff's most recent book is "Visible Identities: Race, Gender and the Self." Gray-Rosendale is the author of "College Girl: A Memoir," in which she revisits the memory of a brutal sexual assault and her route from assault to recovery to becoming a university professor.

This talk explores the double movement of memory raised by Afro-Jews on Passover, where Jewish identity is ritualized as memory of trauma and liberation in a context where black identity is pressured toward acts of forgetting. The contradictions of national memory, where modern life, exemplified especially in American doubled conceptions of self, pose problems of remembering and listening. The result is a demand for cultural ruin, a form of disaster, through the elimination of continuity, which hides deeper, existential challenges of maturation: ruin, after all, is a portended feature of human existence, where, in the face of nothing lasting forever, humanity faces the deeper anxiety of how to live with the eventual realization of the end of the world. Lewis R. Gordon is Laura H. Carnell Professor of Philosophy and Jewish Studies at Temple University. With a diverse background of Jamaican, Cuban, and Jewish ancestry, Gordon has applied himself to the task of articulating the interconnectivity of our world, beyond the strict binaries of Western cultural mores. With many written works in publication concerning post-colonial phenomenology, existentialism, race theory, and cultural studies, Gordon embraces the full breadth of his heritage, striving to engage in the infinite entities that blend to create the human identity. About his own writing, Gordon says in an interview with Linda Alcoff, “I write books to generate critical exchange and to learn from critics. People have always asked me how I write so much, but it is because I do not take the view that one writes a perfect text. I see my writing as part of the social world, so I write to get the discussions going.” His most recent publication with Jane Gordon, Of Divine Warning: Reading Disaster in the Modern Age, examines the force of cultural icons and symbols to offer a theory of disaster in modern and contemporary life.
