🔥 fantastic essay alert 🔥

I re-read María Lugones' essay "Playfulness, "World"-Travelling, and Loving Perception", and boy does it hit hard.

Travelling to other people's "worlds" is a skill that marginalized people have developed by necessity, she writes. People at the margins are forced to travel to the (white, masculine) centre for their survival, whereas privileged people can rest easy in their one dominant "world".

Lugones beautifully illustrates how "World"-travelling is a necessary skill for navigating difference. It's not a dry philosophical argument but a rich and powerful essay, weaving insight with first-person experience.

"in recommending “world”-travelling and identification through “world”-travelling as part of loving other women, I am suggesting disloyalty to arrogant perceivers, including the arrogant perceiver in ourselves, and to their constructions of women."

You can find a link to the essay in my bookshelf.¹

Drawing on Joan Tronto’s understanding of care as a practice oriented toward the maintenance, continuity, and repair of the world and our entangled ways of living in it, my seminar focused on repair — and hosted a Repair Café.

Intimate and limited to the seminar itself, because repairing something for someone, and recognizing something as in need of repair, opens up an entire network of relations, ontologies, and epistemic practices. Over coffee and homemade food, students helped one another, exchanged experiences, and learned about the things at hand and about the people connected to them. In the process, other people became inscribed into the stories that now hold together a broken porcelain deer, a favourite winter jacket, and a blunt shared kitchen knife.

Rarely have I experienced such an atmosphere in a seminar: attentive, caring, and appreciative, while at the same time deeply reflexive and analytically sharp.

Starting the semester with a seminar on Care — understood as both an ethical and epistemic practice.
We’ll engage with Tronto, Conradi, Puig de la Bellacasa, Le Guin, and Haraway to ask how care, storytelling, and becoming-with can challenge inherited distinctions between theory and practice, thought and responsibility.
The seminar combines philosophical reading with exercises in attention and care.

> ... an account of human knowledge which women’s whole experience falsifies is inadequate and partial and capricious. Philosophers have generally talked for instance as though it were obvious that one consciousness went to one body, as though each person were a closed system which could only signal to another by external behaviour, and that behaviour had to be interpreted from previous experience.

Franci Mangraviti and Viviane Fairbank have produced a really helpful annotated reading list of papers on the relationship between feminist philosophy and logic. There’s a lot there that I was familiar with, but plenty more that is new to me, and I’m looking forward to reading more.

If you’re interested in the relationship between philosophy and logic, and have any sympathy at all with feminist critiques of social practices, I think you’ll find this helpful. https://diversityreadinglist.org/blueprint/feminist-logic/

Yesterday, I facilitated a small group conversation about the basics of feminist philosophy. It was such a wonderful experience! At the end of the discussion, the participants (none of whom were 'professional' philosophers) came up with some fundamental principles for conducting feminist scientific research AND used those principles to critique the articles we had discussed!

Hi! I'm Ness (she/they) :100_gay: :_gaysparkle:. I'm an #interdisciplinary #gradstudent at #uvic in #philosophy and law. My #thesis is a #feminist intervention of the subjugation of female cows in spaces of #canadian intensive dairy production. I've been working on this for far too long!

I didn’t use enough hashtags in yesterday’s introduction to make myself findable by folks with similar interests. So, here are a few:

Hi, all. I'm a writer and educator, currently working as a Postdoctoral Fellow of Embedded EthiCS in the Department of Philosophy at Harvard University.

In my day job, I’m currently writing about moral responsibility, epistemic injustice, and the ethics of computing and artificial intelligence. I'm also interested in the philosophy of education, feminist philosophy, queer theory, and scholarship of teaching and learning. I also help develop and teach ethics modules that are embedded into computer science courses at Harvard, and in the spring I’ll be teaching an ethics of computing course for Harvard College. Before this, I worked with Ethically Aligned AI, Inc. and Athabasca University to create an AI ethics micro-credential certificate; held a Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship at Dalhousie University in Halifax, NS; and studied at Waterloo, York, Toronto, Sheffield, and (briefly) The Graduate Center, CUNY.

When I'm not on the clock, I'm pretty much always thinking about, writing, or playing tabletop roleplaying games. For that side of my life, follow @[email protected]
