Others, such as pronoun choice, are morally charged. My dissertation offers an analysis of a category of morally charged social norms that I call political etiquette. I propose that we understand political etiquette as a system of conventions whereby we assure members of vulnerable groups that they can expect treatment in accordance with their rightful status. My account partially vindicates political etiquette’s claim to moral force, but also sheds light on its limitations. I argue that some of these limitations can be ameliorated through widespread acceptance of my interpretation of political etiquette.

  • NHJ UNC Open Letter
    We, the undersigned, believe this country stands at a crucial moment that will define the democratic expression and exchange of ideas for our own and future generations. State institutions across the country are attempting to ban frank and rigorous conversation about our history in the classroom. Few single works have been threatened with more restrictions than the 1619 Project, a landmark exploration of America’s deep roots in enslavement. And now, the 1619 Project’s founder, Nikole Hannah-Jones, has had her appointment as the Knight Chair in Race and Investigative Journalism at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill with tenure blocked by its Board of Trustees. Hannah-Jones’ accolades are numerous: three National Magazine awards, one Peabody award, two Polk awards, a Pulitzer and a MacArthur Fellowship. Hannah-Jones has been elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the Society of American Historians. Because of her extraordinary achievements, the Hussman School recruited Hannah-Jones, one of the school’s most notable alumni, intending to appoint her a professor with tenure. Hannah-Jones underwent the university's rigorous tenure review process, which included enthusiastic support from the Hussman School faculty, her journalistic peers among them. The failure of courage on the part of the Board of Trustees to follow the recommendation of Hannah-Jones’ peers is almost certainly tied to Hannah-Jones’ creation of the 1619 Project. While the denial of tenure is egregious, it is not an isolated incident. The same anti-democratic thinking that blocked Hannah-Jones’ appointment at her alma mater has also fueled efforts in state and local legislatures to ban the teaching of histories of slavery and its legacies through the 1619 Project.

  • Functional Critiques of Prisons
    Dear Participants in the NYU Colloquium in Legal, Political, and Social Philosophy: I’m writing a book tentatively titled “The Idea oF Prison Abolition.” This selection is drawn from the manuscript. The main reading for the colloquium is chapter 3 (which starts on page 17). But For context, I’m also including a draft oF the book’s introduction. If pressed for time (aren’t we all?), Feel Free to skip to chapter 3. I believe it can be understood without reading the introduction. The Idea of Prison Abolition: Angela Davis and Black Critical Theory Tommie Shelby Introduction It is a hopeful sign of moral progress that many now think that prison systems, around the globe but especially in the United States, are urgently in need of fundamental reform. There is broad news coverage about the problem of mass incarceration and the dreadful lives of prisoners. There is persistent activism directed at reforming prisons, jails, and immigration detention centers. The belief that major reforms are needed in our prisons and in our criminal justice systems more broadly cuts across the political spectrum. However, a growing number of people believe that we should not seek to “reform” prisons but to stop using them altogether. This politico-philosophical outlook is generally called “prison abolition.” Although prison abolition is radical, counterintuitive, and strikes some as absurd, it merits serious consideration rather than dismissal. Prisons do tremendous and lasting harm, and this damage is not restricted to prisoners. If a society is to rely on prisons, this use demands compelling defense. At the heart of the vocation of philosophy, particularly in the Socratic tradition, is an inclination to consider such radical ideas, to entertain the heretical thought, to not dismiss the “crazy” proposal.

  • Syllabus—Contemporary Africana Social and Political Philosophy
    CONTEMPORARY AFRICANA SOCIAL AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY (D) Instructor: Dr. Neil Roberts Spring 2011 Williams College AFR132.01/PSCI132.01 Tu, 1:10-3:50 PM Office hours: Wed, 2-4:00PM [email protected] Hollander Hall 213, x4772 Course description: This introductory seminar investigates the relationship between three major schools of thought in contemporary Africana social and political philosophy, namely the African, Afro- Caribbean, and African-American intellectual traditions. We will discuss a range of thinkers including Kwame Anthony Appiah, Maryse Condé, Angela Y. Davis, Paul Gilroy, Édouard Glissant, Lewis R. Gordon, Kwame Gyekye, Wilson Harris, Paget Henry, bell hooks, Charles W. Mills, Nkiru Nzegwu, Lucius Outlaw, Oyèrónke Oyĕwùmí, Tommie Shelby, Cornel West, and Sylvia Wynter. A primary goal of the course is to provide students with the intellectual resources to decipher problems central to philosophical discourse and to allow students an opportunity to apply what they learn to critical issues in current geopolitics. This seminar is part of the Exploring Diversity Initiative, and as such we shall investigate—via the authors mentioned—comparative philosophical analyses, the connection between universality and particularity in the world of ideas, critical theorization, and the plurality of global thinking in contemporary social and political philosophy. Course requirements: Participants are expected to attend class regularly and complete readings for class listed on the syllabus. I will generally begin each class summarizing briefly the previous session’s main points, and shall proceed to lecture for a portion of time about the current day’s topic. Since this is a seminar, you should be prepared to engage in a class discussion, close textual analyses, and group activities.
