Ep 08: The Workings of Modern-Day Oppression with Dr. Jeanine Weekes Schroer
Our guest for this episode is Dr. Jeanine Weekes Schroer, a philosopher of race and feminist theory and an Associate Professor of Philosophy at UMD and currently Head of the Department of Geography & Philosophy. Her teaching and research concern the ethics and politics of social oppression, including the metaphysics of race and racism; and empirical and experimental philosophical approaches to racism, sexism, and ethics. She has been a part of the Racism Untaught advisory Team since 2018.
“Oppression is not merely the province of corrupt governments and tyrants; nor is it always committed by power-hungry conspirators. Modern oppression is the result of the acts of numerous individuals, each of whom may or may not intend to oppress or even to harm.” —Dr. Jeanine Weekes Schroer
