“Arguing for a Better World”: Arianne Shahvisi in conversation with Andrés Saenz de Sicilia
Can white people be victims of racism?
Is it sexist to say “men are trash”?
Should we worry about “cancel culture”?
Many of us know what we think about inequality or injustice, but flounder when asked for our reasoning, leading to a conversational stalemate – especially when faced with a political, generational, or cultural divide. But living in echo chambers blunts our thinking, and if we can’t persuade others, we have little hope of collectively bringing about change.
In today’s opening event of our autumn series, philosopher Arianne Shahvisi will draw on examples from everyday life to show us how to work through various thorny moral questions, equipping us to not only identify our positions but to carefully defend them. She will be in conversation with philosopher and musician Andrés Saenz de Sicilia. This promises to be a really exciting start to the series! You can find out more and register for the event here.
