    What does cutting-edge research in philosophy look like? What are pressing and enduring questions it uncovers, and ways of addressing them? This event offers a taste. From enduring questions about the nature of morality and human experience, to urgent questions about how to overcome oppression, research conducted in Concordia’s Department of Philosophy reflects this diversity.

    Drawing on the work of Charles Mills on race and of Susan Babbitt on gender, as well as the speaker's own on eugenics and disability, this talk raises questions about philosophy's boundaries, history, sociology, and community engagement. The hope is for the talk to spark some constructive thinking about how the future need not be like the past.
