SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: The stability of bad things
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: The stability of bad things\nIn-person event\n  \nPolitical philosophers have long been concerned with how best to ensure the stability of social orders. Stability is assumed to be a good\, whether because whatever is good is better for being stably so\, or because stability enables cooperation in the pursuit of whatever other goods we have. \nBut is stability always a good? What of the stability of systems of unfreedom\, of forms of oppression and domination? Such systems are stable in the face of constant efforts to shift them. Why is this? Call this the question of the stability of bad things: why bad things are stable despite the fact that they are bad. \nIn this talk\, I examine one central way in which systems of unfreedom are self-stabilizing: through shaping the moral psychology of agents within those systems. Unfreedom is not just a matter of having limited options for choice\, but of the ways in which social systems foster in us particular ways of thinking\, feeling\, and acting. I argue that there are two ways in which this moral psychological shaping stabilizes systems of unfreedom. First\, it generates support for those systems\, by which I mean not just voluntary upholding of the system but a range of attitudes from consent to resigned participation. Second\, it disrupts possibilities of collective resistance to those systems. Understanding these mechanisms of stability might better help us to first resist\, and then transform\, the systems of unfreedom to which we are all subject. \nAbout the speaker:\nYarran Hominh \nYarran Hominh is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Bard College. His research sits at the intersection of social and political philosophy with moral psychology. He draws liberally from a variety of traditions of thought and practice\, including the pragmatist tradition\, the Black radical tradition\, Buddhist modernism\, and anti-racist\, anti-colonial\, and anti-imperial praxis from around the globe. He is working on a book entitled The Problem of Unfreedom and has papers recently published or forthcoming in Philosophers’ Imprint\, The Pluralist\, the Journal of Legal Philosophy\, Comparative Philosophy and the Journal of Confucian Philosophy and Culture. He is also the Associate Editor of the APA Studies on Asian and Asian American Philosophers and Philosophies and is on the editorial board of The Philosopher. \n  \nThursday 13 July 2023\, 6-7.30pm AEST\nVenue: Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 1.5 \n  \nThis event is proudly presented by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Workshop: Description and evaluation in contemporary jurisprudence
DESCRIPTION:JSI Workshop: Description and evaluation in contemporary jurisprudence\nIn-person event \nModern jurisprudence has been tormented by a divide between description and evaluation in legal theory. Proponents argue that the distinction is essential to any clearheaded discussion of law itself and its relation to adjacent normative systems\, especially morality. Opponents insist that being the necessarily normative practice it is\, a pure description of the law and its theory is untenable. This conversation will bring together legal and moral theorists to shed some novel light on an old problem. \nSpeakers \n\nAssociate Professor Kevin Walton (University of Sydney Law School)\nDr. Yarran Hominh (Assistant Professor in Philosophy\, Bard College)\nDr. Alma Diamond (Postdoctoral Fellow in Law & Philosophy\, University of Chicago)\nDr. Meir Yarom (Postdoctoral Fellow in Jurisprudence\, the Julius Stone Institute\, University of Sydney Law School)\n\n——————————— \nThursday 20 July\, 2023\nTime: 11am-1pm  \nVenue: Level 4\, Board Room\, New Law Building (F10) \nCPD Points: 2 \n———————————- \nThis event is proudly presented by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: Epistemic privilege and duties of mutual assistance
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: Epistemic privilege and duties of mutual assistance\nIn-person event \nVictims of oppression are sometimes said to have epistemic privilege in virtue of their marginalised social position into the operation and impact of oppressive social structures. Epistemic privilege sometimes is cited as a basis for deference in social relations between victims and non-victims—for example\, the use of ‘lived experience’ to resolve or terminate disagreements about social and political oppression. I am interested in whether epistemic privilege can be a basis for duties of mutual assistance between victims\, where assistance is understood as mitigating the harms of oppression on other victims without necessarily targeting oppression itself. I outline the ways in which victims of oppression can be said to have epistemic privilege\, the limits of this privilege\, and what duties of assistance this privilege might ground. \nAbout the speaker:\nAshwini Vasanthakumar \nAshwini Vasanthakumar is a political and legal theorist with research interests in political obligation and authority\, migration\, and the ethics of resistance. \nShe is currently an Associate Professor and Queen’s National Scholar in Legal & Political Philosophy at Queen’s Law School in Canada. She holds an AB from Harvard\, an MA from Toronto\, a JD from Yale Law School\, and a DPhil from Oxford\, where she studied as a Canadian Rhodes Scholar. \nPreviously\, she has worked at King’s College London\, the University of York\, University College\, Oxford\, and Jindal Global Law School. She has also been a Researcher at the Institute for Futures Studies (Stockholm) and a Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Fundamental Rights at the Hertie School (Berlin). \n  \nThursday 27 July 2023\, 6-7.30pm AEST\nVenue: Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 1.5 \n  \nThis event is proudly presented by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.
