Forum in Law, Ethics and Society: The Privileged Access of the Underprivileged

  • Stevenson Hall Room 1400 1801 E Cotati Ave Rohnert Park, CA, 94928 United States (map)

Join Teed Rockwell, SSU Emeritus as we will discuss the differences and similarities between socioeconomic privilege and epistemic privilege. In discussions of identity politics, a lack of socioeconomic privilege gives one a kind of epistemic privilege similar to the privileged access often discussed in philosophy of mind debates. This is why privileged people can be accused of gaslighting when they question the assertions of the marginalized.
