SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (online) – Koshka Duff (Nottingham)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Strip-searching as Abjectification: Racism and Sexual Violence in British Policing \nAbstract: Co-authored with Tom Kemp (Criminology\, University of Nottingham)\, this paper examines police strip-searching practices in the UK. Drawing on newly acquired Freedom of Information data\, publicly available testimonies\, thematic analysis of official literature and media reports\, and first-hand experience\, we advance three arguments. First\, strip-searching is used systematically\, not exceptionally\, and targets young people and people of colour\, especially Black young men and boys. Second\, strip-searching in practice is demonstrably excessive when measured against its stated rationales of ‘crime’ detection and ‘caring’ for detainees; we unpick the circular logics through which it is legitimized in official and public discourse. Third\, drawing on Sharpe’s notion of the abject\, we argue that strip-searching\, as a form of normalized sexual violence folded into the rubric of ‘care’\, is part of a project of abjectification that aims to exclude the individuals and groups it targets from social and political subjecthood \nLocation: online & livestreamed from Edgecliffe G03

SUMMARY:Moral Philosophy Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:This week the Moral Philosophy Reading Group will be discussing Kai Spiekermann’s paper ‘Irreversible Loss’. \nAbstract: This chapter offers three reasons for trying to avoid some irreversible losses. First\, there is a prudential reason for avoiding irreversible loss in order to keep options open in the future in the face of uncertainty. Second\, humans have reasons to care about the preservation of some goods\, even beyond their own life. Third\, present generations may have duties towards future generations to avoid some irreversible losses\, though spelling out such theories of intergenerational ethics or justice is challenging. Finally\, the chapter responds to the objection that – in a certain sense – all processes are irreversible and the notion therefore empty. A sensible conception of irreversibility is offered that avoids this concern. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03

SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in-person & online) – Derek Ball (St Andrews) & Caroline Touburg (Umeå University)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Philosophical Foundations of Green-House Gas Accounting \nAbstract: International agreements such as the Kyoto protocol and the Paris agreement require countries to measure and track their greenhouse gas emissions.  Companies (as well as universities and other organisations) are required by governmental regulations or their own net-zero goals to do the same.  Greenhouse gas accounting is the project of measuring and tracking GHG emissions.  Although there are a range of standards and guidelines governing GHG accounting practice\, a number of issues remain unresolved in the literature\, including how to account for emissions of short-lived but potent GHGs such as methane\, and how (and indeed whether) to account for temporary storage of CO2 (for example\, in wood products); and standard approaches to these issues are\, in our view\, seriously flawed.   Our talk has two aims\, one technical\, the other theoretical.  The technical aim is to sketch a framework that provides a principled resolution of these issues.  The theoretical aim is to discuss the normative presuppositions of the framework.  Notably\, the framework relies on the idea that in some cases\, we should focus on the preservation of some valuable thing – avoiding loss and minimizing damage – rather than on some aggregable value (such as money\, or well-being).  This shift in focus puts us in a position to avoid some of the problems we see in extant approaches\, and has potential for application in other areas of moral philosophy. \nLocation: Edgecliffe G03
