Hildreth-Mirza Hall, 101/102 - Great Room

Philosophy Colloquium, On October 23, at 4:30 p.m. Karen Ng, Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Philosophy, Vanderbilt University, will be a guest speaker for the Philosophy Department in the HMH Great Room.In this paper Karen Ng will combine insights from Hegel and Marx to argue for a historical-materialist approach to social freedom. Against views of freedom that depend only on institutional recognition, Ng proposes a broader view that combines social reproduction and our relationship with the environment in order to outline how social freedom is a process that we must self-consciously realize and continually reproduce.
