The Austin and Hempel Lectures, a series of distinguished lectures sponsored by the Department of Philosophy, Dalhousie University, presents Professor Kristie Dotson, from the Department of Philosophy and African American and African Studies, Michigan State University

On Justice for All

In this talk, Dotson explores a notion of racial justice in the 21st century and what it means as a Black feminist to have "a vision of justice for all".  Ultimately, she claims that we are not so constitutionally dissimilar, our ability to impact each other so small, nor our populations so homogeneous as to imagine that racial justice is not just another way of saying we need justice for all.  Racial justice in any era may well translate into the demand that we work for the goal of creating "a place where no one is prey".
