Boundary Crossing:
The Ethics of Race, Class, and Gender
Pamela Brandwein, Ph.D.
Workshop Description: Boundaries – often invisible ones – confront us as we try to communicate across divides of race, class and gender. Are there standards of conduct to guide us? Can a moral philosophy for such boundary crossings be derived from the wider study of race, class, and gender inequality? This workshop will take up these questions, mixing sociology, social psychology, history, and politics. Charged and difficult topics lay in wait, such as white privilege, class myths, and male violence. These features of the American social terrain, along with unconscious stereotyping (even by egalitarian-minded individuals) are obstacles to constructive exchange. But an irony lies at the center of this untraditional ethics workshop: only a deep knowledge of what inhibits exchanges across race, class, and gender can yield a code – an ethics – for dialogue across these boundaries.
Presenter’s Bio:
Pamela Brandwein, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Michigan. Her award-winning research and teaching focus on the struggle over civil rights, the development of civil rights law, and contemporary forms of race and gender inequality. Bridging academic disciplines, her work explores questions about the rise and impact of distorted knowledge about slavery and race. Her most recent book (Cambridge University Press, 2009) rethinks conventional wisdom about the Supreme Court’s settlement of the great debates involving race and rights opened by the Civil War.
