Philosophy of Race, UC Santa Cruz talk, and World University and School, Tuesday, February 18, 2014
WUaS and conversation among all languages (and hence 'races')
Rasmus -
Let me think through further about possible readings concerning generating flourishing (a question I'm interested in), 'inter-racial,' knowledge-oriented, "transcommunality" and dialogues online - both philosophically and academically - and vis-a-vis wiki, MIT OCW-centric World University and School, planned for all 7,105 languages and 242 countries, with a focus on the developing world and One Laptop per Child countries.

Are you familiar with this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn0i2v87woU - by any chance? It will be a starting place for our conversation on Tuesday.

With abolitionism forward, Quakers have, for centuries, questioned racism, and created learning opportunities, and thus cultures, for people of all races.

While much re-visiting questions of race was much informed by the activism of the 1960s and 1970s, this conversation among the people, and many, extends today into Google Hangout communities ...
