What Is Race?
Event Speaker
Quayshawn Spencer
Robert S. Blank Presidential Associate Professor of Philosophy
Cafe 58, Irvine Auditorium 3401 Spruce Street, Philadelphia
Philosophers have asked "What is race?" for centuries now without any consensus on an answer. In this talk, Quayshawn Spencer will consider the U.S. government’s current definition of race, how it generates a novel answer to the general question of what race is, and discuss why all former race theories have been radically incorrect.
