EDUCATIONAL ADEQUACY, CAPABILITY, AND BASIC EDUCATIONAL JUSTICE: A REVISION OF ANDERSON AND SATZ by JARED CORBETT Under the Direction of Suzanne Love, PhD ABSTRACT There are two leading accounts of the principles of educational adequacy by Elizabeth Anderson and Debra Satz. Anderson’s and Satz’s accounts have been criticized for being insufficiently value-pluralist, and both lack a metric of justice. In this paper, I revise the principle of educational adequacy in order to address these problems. I argue that although the principle of educational adequacy cannot be the only principle in a complete theory of educational justice, it can tell us what basic justice in education requires in measurable terms. I highlight two core commitments that Anderson and Satz share: a commitment to 1) democratic egalitarianism and 2) sufficientarian equal citizenship. Then, I reformulate these commitments in a way that accounts for the role that other egalitarian values have to play in a complete theory of justice in education.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-13211-4 - Capitalism, For and Against: A Feminist Debate Ann E. Cudd and Nancy Holmstrom Frontmatter More information Capitalism, For and Against Political philosophy and feminist theory have rarely examined in detail how capitalism affects the lives of women. Ann Cudd and Nancy Holmstrom take up opposing sides of the issue, debating whether capitalism is valuable as an ideal and whether, as an actually existing economic system, it is good for women. In a discussion covering a broad range of social and economic issues, including unequal pay, industrial reforms, and sweatshops, they examine how these and other issues relate to women and how to analyze effectively what constitutes “capitalism” and “women’s interests.” Each author also responds to the opposing arguments, providing a thorough debate of the topics covered. The resulting volume will interest a wide range of readers in philosophy, political theory, women’s studies, and global affairs. ANN E. CUDD is Professor of Philosophy and Associate Dean for Humanities, University of Kansas. She is the author of Analyzing Oppression (2006), and co-edited (with Anita Superson) Theorizing Backlash (2002) and (with Robin Andreason) Feminist Theory (2005).

  • Freedom and Responsibility - Sustainable Prosperity Through a Capabilities Lens
    The Jus Semper Global Alliance Living Wages North and South Sustainable Human Development March 2020 BRIEFS ON TRUE DEMOCRACY AND CAPITALISM Freedom and Responsibility - Sustainable Prosperity through a Capabilities Lens Ingrid Robeyns Are we at liberty to live our lives completely as we wish? Or are there constraints we have to be aware of as we want to avoid harming others and respect principles of ecological justice? And are lifestyles that embrace basic principles of ecological justice always dull and simple lives, where many enjoyable things are beyond reach, and which therefore entail a regress in our quality of life? Or is there a possibility to live lives that are at the same time sustainable and just, and that also allow us to be happy and flourishing? This set of questions is one of the most central in the task of thinking about sustainable prosperity. To many people’s minds there is an inevitable trade-off between living ecologically sustainable on the one hand and living with higher levels of well- being on the other. If that trade-off is a real one, then those striving towards a more sustainable future are facing an uphill task, since ecological sustainability will only be possible by lowering people’s well-being—something most people have so far been unwilling to do. But is this trade-off real or is it spurious? Is it possible to lead good lives that are simultaneously just and ecologically sustainable? That’s the question I seek to answer in this essay. I will argue that it is possible to live good lives that are also just and ecologically sustainable, if we understand well-being and human flourishing in terms of human capabilities (while giving more weight to the non-material capabilities), and if we are willing to take the necessary steps to change our behaviour and institutions to overcome moral disengagement with our current lifestyles, which are unjust and ecologically unsustainable.

  • Race and Oppression: Philosophical Issues in Voluntary Oppression
    RACE AND OPPRESSION: PHILOSOPHICAL ISSUES IN VOLUNTARY OPPRESSION BY Roksana Alavi Submitted to the graduate degree program in Philosophy and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Professor Ann E. Cudd Chairperson Committee members Professor Thomas Tuozzo Professor Anthony Genova Professor Rex Martin Professor Mehrangiz Najafizadeh Date defended: 1/31/2008 The Dissertation Committee for Roksana Alavi certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: RACE AND OPPRESSION: PHILOSOPHICAL ISSUES IN VOLUNTARY OPPRESSION Committee Professor Ann E. Cudd Chairperson Date Accepted: 3/27/2008 ii Abstract In my dissertation I discuss voluntary racial oppression. In my view coercion is not required for all oppressive situations. The psychologically oppressed, internalizes the expectation of inferiority and becomes one’s own oppressor. This theory of oppression can best explain the situation of racial minorities in the United States. There are no laws discriminating against racial minorities. So, their oppression is not externally inflicted. I provide Sally Haslanger’s theory of race. I believe in this theory of race, passing people are also victim of oppression. I discuss three harms of oppression: violence, economic oppression and stereotyping, and show that they can be both voluntarily and involuntarily inflicted. Although passing people are not victims of direct harm, they internalize the negative stereotypes and become their own oppressors. So, in order to end racial oppression, we ought to address both the political aspects of having rights and bringing everyone to the threshold level of functioning of capabilities. iii Acknowledgements It takes a village to write a dissertation! It is with great pleasure that I express my sincere gratitude to all those “villagers” who helped me to get to this point today.

  • Philosophical Issues in Feminism
    PHIL 347: Philosophical Issues in Feminism David Black [email protected] December 31, 2014 Course Description Feminism is one of the core social justice movements today. A commit- ment to gender justice raises deep philosophical issues. What is gender? What are justice and injustice? What does specifically gendered justice require? In this discussion-focussed class, we will investigate foundational and topical questions of feminist theory, by both classic and contemporary authors. Topics include: the sex/gender distinction, analyses of gender and op- pression, and choice under oppression. Depending on student interest, we may cover sex-positivity and -negativity, feminist criticisms and episte- mologies of science, the ethics of care, or some other topics. 1 Course Information • Meeting Times: TBD • Class Location: TBD • Office Hours: TBD and by appointment • Prerequisites: One philosophy course or one WGS course or instructor's permission • Required Text: None, readings made available through Sakai. Several papers come from anthologies, but you don't need to buy them. • Registration Index: 04519 2 Course Narrative To oversimplify, feminism is a (collection of) movement(s) to end gender-based oppression. Two of these terms stand out in need of further explanation. First, \oppression". What kinds of things are oppressive and what does it mean for something to be oppressive? In the beginning of the course, we'll try to figure out what oppression is and how it is harmful. Second, \gender". Whose oppression is feminism in particular concerned with? Who counts as a woman or a man (or neither)? What makes a person be of one gender, rather than another? In our second unit, we'll see why most 1 people reject a biological answer and end up distinguishing between sex and gender.

  • Feminism for the 99 Percent
    - ESTO ;:.iii POLITICS / FEMINISM ",,::: $12.95/ £7.99/ $17.50CAN THIS IS Feminism for AMANIFESTO the 99 Percent FOR THE 99 PERCENT Unaffordable housing, poverty wages, inad­ equate healthcare, border policing, climate change-these are not what you ordinarily hear feminists talking about. But aren't they the biggest issues for the vast majority of women around the globe? Taking as its inspiration the new wave of fem­ inist militancy that has erupted globally, this manifesto makes a simple but powerful case: feminism shouldn't start-or stop-with the drive to have women represented at the top of their professions. It must focus on those at the bottom, and fight for the world they deserve. And that means targeting capitalism. Feminism must be anticapitalist, eco-socialist and anti racist.

  • An Evaluative Framework for Social Justice in Higher Education Teaching and Learning
    An Evaluative Framework for Social Justice in Higher Education Teaching and Learning Vivienne Bozalek and Brenda Leibowitz Colloquium on Hopeful Pedagogies 19 November 2010 Introduction In this presentation/paper we would like to address the following two questions in relation to social justice in higher education teaching and learning: What framework would be useful to make judgements about whether institutional contexts are conducive to student flourishing and wellbeing ? What sorts of practices and considerations would need to be implemented in the South African context in order to achieve student flourishing and wellbeing? The importance of analysing moral frameworks Alert us to what is important in social arrangements in higher education Provide the means to weigh up and make complex moral and political judgements about the adequacy of social arrangements for human well-being Examine taken-for-granted assumptions Examine limitations of conceptions Introduction In this paper/presentation we examine the usefulness of certain normative frameworks relating to social justice and care: The human capabilities approach of Nussbaum and Sen Nancy Fraser’s concept of justice The political ethics of care as developed by theorists such as Tronto and Sevenhuijsen We argue that all of these approaches are useful for developing a framework through which judgements about the adequacy of care, participation and human flourishing can be made regarding teaching and learning in particular higher education contexts Social justice, the ethics of care and difference Social Justice approaches are traditionally concerned with how social resources are distributed in society Partially useful as no accommodation of difference The idea of ‘rational economic man’ who is disembodied, autonomous, independent and equal is the normative ideal of a citizen that John Rawls had in mind.
