Seybert Lecture II: Sally Haslanger

Thursday, March 25, 2010 - 5:00pm

TBA

Lecture II talks in more detail about social structures and the ways in which, through language, we sometimes inadvertently reinforce them.  It is a bit less general and draws on some recent work in linguistics, but is accessible to non-specialists.

Paper Title

Are Cows Food? Are Sagging Pants Cool? Ideology, Social Knowledge, and Common Ground
