#ThisIsAmerica: Critical Race Theory in Schools
Critical Race Theory is a body of legal scholarship and an academic movement of US civil-rights scholars and activists who seek to critically examine the intersection of race and U.S. law and to challenge mainstream American liberal approaches to racial justice. It examines social, cultural, and legal issues primarily as they relate to race and racism in the US.
Typically it is only taught in law school, however, the debate over whether it should be taught in primary schools has recently ravaged the nation.
Join us for an engaging discussion on whether children should be taught the history of systematic racism and white supremacy in schools.

“An Expressivist Theory of Taste Predicates”
Abstract:
Simple taste predications typically come with an ‘acquaintance requirement’: they normally require the speaker to have had a certain kind of first-hand experience with the object of predication. For example, if I told you that the crème caramel is delicious, you would ordinarily assume that I have actually tasted the crème caramel and am not simply relying on the testimony of others. The present essay argues in favor of a ‘lightweight' expressivist account of the acquaintance requirement. This account consists of a recursive semantics and a ‘supervaluational’ account of assertion; it is compatible with a number of different accounts of truth and content, including contextualism, relativism, and purer forms of expressivism. The principal argument in favor of this account is that it correctly predicts a wide range of data concerning how the acquaintance requirement interacts with Boolean connectives, generalized quantifiers, epistemic modals, and attitude verbs.
All welcome!
