The Racial Contract

My classes are spending the week on Charles Mills, which obviously has an additional layer of significance to it this year. Anyway, here's your annual reminder of his one-sentence introduction of the Racial Contract (from the book of that title): https://t.co/cHH6mcvlb8

"Minding" Knowledge
M. Elizabeth Hendrix
This has happened to me a couple of times, but so far it's landed okay in the end. The worst was my 'Mindreading Knowledge' paper, which I'd been working on for years - I finished the first complete draft, and 2-3 hours later google recommended David Rose's paper... https://t.co/bySO7TGMXd
