Description

The 92nd Joint Session of the Aristotelian Society and the Mind Association was held at the University of Oxford from 6 to 8 July 2018. The Joint Session is a three-day conference in philosophy that is held annually during the summer by the Aristotelian Society and the Mind Association. It has taken place at nearly every major university across the United Kingdom and in Ireland. Since 1910, the Joint Session has grown to become the largest gathering of philosophers in the country, attracting prestigious UK and international speakers working in a broad range of philosophical areas. Inaugurated by the incoming President of the Mind Association, the Joint Session includes symposia, open and postgraduate sessions, and a range of satellite conferences.

This podcast is a recording of the second symposium at the Joint Session - "Racial Justice" - which featured Charles Mills (CUNY) and Katrin Flikschuh (LSE).

Charles W. Mills is a Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the CUNY Graduate Center. He works in the general area of social and political philosophy, particularly in oppositional political theory as centered on class, gender, and race. He is the author of over a hundred journal articles, book chapters, comments and replies, and six books: The Racial Contract (Cornell University Press, 1997); Blackness Visible: Essays on Philosophy and Race (Cornell University Press, 1998); From Class to Race: Essays in White Marxism and Black Radicalism (Rowman & Littlefield, 2003); Contract and Domination (co-authored with Carole Pateman) (Polity, 2007); Radical Theory, Caribbean Reality: Race, Class and Social Domination (University of the West Indies Press, 2010); and Black Rights/White Wrongs: The Critique of Racial Liberalism (Oxford University Press, 2017).

Katrin Flikschuh is Professor of Modern Political Theory at the London School of Economics. She primarily works on Kant's political philosophy and its relation to contemporary liberalism. More recently she has begun to work on modern African philosophy. From April 2014 to December 2017 she is Principal Investigator of a Leverhulme Trust funded International Network that seeks to engage African and Western political theorists and philosophers with one another. She is author of Kant and Modern Political Philosophy (CUP 2000, 2008), Freedom. Contemporary Liberal Perspectives (Polity 2007), and What is Orientation in Global Thinking? A Kantian Enquiry (CUP, 2017). She is co-editor, with Lea Ypi, of Kant and Colonialism (OUP 2014).
