On Systemic Social Evil: Hegel and Foucault (4:15pm @ Vollum College Center, 110)
In discussions of social problems, it is now almost inevitable that we refer to systemic injustices, or systems of oppression, such as white supremacy or patriarchy. But what does it mean to think of society as a system and, in particular, as an oppressive system?
A number of thinkers have conceived of society as a system, but there are some unexpected affinities between Hegel and Foucault, two philosophers who are often seen as poles apart. Most obviously, for example, they have rather different normative evaluations about modern society: Hegel thinks that it is a system of rational freedom; Foucault thinks that it is a system of oppression. But despite these opposing normative schemes, I will argue that they rely on a similar conceptual model about the systemic workings of society. But whereas Hegel consciously developed a metaphysics to support his conception of a system, with Foucault the metaphysics has become merely tacit. Making what is tacit explicit, however, raises some serious questions about what it means to treat such normative phenomena as oppression and injustice as systemic.

Staff and Faculty QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) (10:30am to 12am @ Trillium Multipurpose Room)
Please sign up below if you would like to attend the QPR Gatekeeper Training. This training is open to staff and faculty of Reed College. There is limited capacity for this training, so please sign up as soon as possible. Once the training is at full capacity, the sign-up form will be closed. What is QPR? QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying "Yes" to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor.
