Philosophy of Race, UC Santa Cruz talk, and World University and School, Tuesday, February 18, 2014
WUaS and conversation among all languages (and hence 'races')
Rasmus -
Let me think through further about possible readings concerning generating flourishing (a question I'm interested in), 'inter-racial,' knowledge-oriented, "transcommunality" and dialogues online - both philosophically and academically - and vis-a-vis wiki, MIT OCW-centric World University and School, planned for all 7,105 languages and 242 countries, with a focus on the developing world and One Laptop per Child countries. Academia.edu is one good example of this thus far, but it's quite academic paper-oriented as a form of dialogue. (Perhaps I can stream the class in a Google + group video Hangout - with its own recording capabilities to Youtube, - to open conversation possibilities as an experiment, in addition to UCSC video-ing it, per your email).
I'm excited for the possibility of online learning dialogues growing, and between all languages (Wikipedia is in 287 languages, and MIT OCW is in 9 languages), as ways of contributing to your philosophy of race course conversations. Are you familiar with this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn0i2v87woU - by any chance? It will be a starting place for our conversation on Tuesday. If everyone in the course could watch it beforehand, that would be great.
In the conversation I'd like have with your class on Tuesday, I'll focus on social and cultural aspects of questions about race (e.g. per your

History -
With abolitionism forward, Quakers have, for centuries, questioned racism, and created learning opportunities, and thus cultures, for people of all races.

While much re-visiting questions of race was much informed by the activism of the 1960s and 1970s, this conversation among the people, and many, extends today into Google Hangout communities ...
