On how our practices of praising can be harmful and implicated in oppression

“The Morality of Praise”
Jules Holroyd with Hallvard Lillehammer

Have you ever considered that our practices of praising can be harmful and implicated in oppression?

In this event, Jules Holroyd and Hallvard Lillehammer will explore the idea that praise can be as harmful as blame. They will introduce us to cases of oppressive praise, using them to develop a diagnosis of when and why praise is oppressive, and an account of praise that focuses on its function in affirming and entrenching values within a community. This role of praise is essential to understanding moral appraisal as a social practice, one that can contribute to social hierarchy and oppression. You can find out more and register here.
