SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò (Georgetown University)
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘Being-in-the-Room: Epistemic Deference and Elite Capture’ \nAbstract: Standpoint epistemology refers to a set of contentions: that knowledge is socially situated\, that marginalized people have some positional advantages in gaining some forms of knowledge\, and that research programs ought to reflect these facts. These seem to me to be entirely unobjectionable\, and indeed to follow from any minimally plausible story about the epistemic consequences of social structure. Yet this theory is often the subject of controversy. I take the problem to be related to the norms of putting the theory into practice\, particularly their reliance on schedules of deference\, and considering the political consequences of this approach (elite capture) and also consequences I take to be morally corrosive. I propose an alternative\, which I call the “constructive” approach to giving standpoint epistemology practical expression\, and try to motivate adopting it.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Martin Smith (Edinburgh)
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘Lexical Priority\, Decision Theory and De Minimis Risk’ \nAbstract: Say that one moral requirement takes lexical priority over another just in case violations of the former can never be outweighed or counterbalanced by violations of the latter. While lexical priority is arguably a feature of many ethical systems\, attempts to model it within the framework of decision theory have led to a series of difficulties – a fact which is sometimes spun as a ‘decision theoretic critique’ of lexical priority. In this paper\, I will develop an enriched decision theoretic framework that is capable of overcoming one of the major obstacles to modelling lexical priority. The key move is to introduce\, into decision theory\, a non-probabilistic conception of risk known as normic risk.

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk – Katharine Jenkins (Glasgow)
DESCRIPTION:Title: ‘How To Be a Pluralist About Gender’ \nAbstract: There are various of attractive accounts of gender kinds on offer (Haslanger 2012\, Asta 2018)\, as well as accounts of the ontology of human social kinds (or social groups) more broadly (Mallon 2016\, Ritchie 2020) that are much more conducive to feminist aims than a lot of previous work in social ontology. As metaphysicians of gender\, we are spoilt for choice! In this talk\, I argue that we do not have to choose a single account of gender kinds\, but can adopt a principled pluralism about gender kinds: there are many different varieties of social kinds that can be understood as gender kinds\, and which ones we need to use in our theorising and practices depend on our explanatory and practical goals. Although many philosophers appear willing to entertain pluralism about gender kinds\, little has been said about how this would work\, and it is important to fend off the worry that pluralism would entail an ontological ‘free-for-all’. I offer a framework for systematising these different gender kinds\, the ‘Constraints and Enablements Framework’ and show how it fends off the free-for-all worry\, revealing gender pluralism as a metaphysically manageable and politically appealing position. \nJenkins Handout \n  \n
