Anti-black racism must cease. Black folk must be safe from murder at the hands of police officers. The United States can no longer refuse full citizenship and cultural standing to those, without whom, the United States would not exist. And we must strive to live in concrete acknowledgment of how, against all odds, black folk, at every level, have enriched the myriad possibilities available to those who live, work, and love here.We also want to let you know that we are committed to cultivating a community that helps each other and shows solidarity in moments of crisis. In the thick of this situation, no one should be alone. Please reach out to one another and know that your faculty is available to talk about whatever issues and concerns are filling your thoughts, whether they pertain to the department, its curriculum and programs, Emory, life in Atlanta, or the broader landscape of philosophy as a profession and a history. We are here, and not just to talk with you, but to learn with and from you.Looking ahead, we remain committed to building a home for faculty who work in the face of daily, anti-black racism, and to continue to attract leading scholars whose work addresses these issues. Growing such a faculty is an immediate and long-term goal. Moreover, even in a time of frozen budgets, we will intensify our support for our chapter of Minorities and Philosophy, and help it move from a joint graduate and undergraduate organization to two organizations, each with their own mission. Anti-black racism must cease. Black folk must be safe from murder at the hands of police officers. The United States can no longer refuse full citizenship and cultural standing to those, without whom, the United States would not exist. And we must strive to live in concrete acknowledgment of how, against all odds, black folk, at every level, have enriched the myriad possibilities available to those who live, work, and love here."The Good Life" Tuesdays at 2:00 pmJoin Professor John Lysaker every Tuesday at 2 pm for a walk and a talk about questions concerning the good life, a phrase often used to describe a life well lived and deserving of praise. How should we understand happiness, virtue and vice, think about anger, conceive of hope and trust, and pursue and preserve friendship? Each day s amble will take up one of these topics or a related one. To participate, e-mail Professor Lysaker at jlysake@emory.edu. Then, just meet in front of Bowden Hall on the quad any Tuesday at 2 to participate. To maintain social distancing and still hear one another, each walk will only involve Professor Lysaker and 4 students. So, contact him early to save a spot. In case of rain, meet at Bowden Hall and the group will find a covered area outside. View more events
