SUMMARY:The Ethics of Uncivil Protest: A Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This two-day\, international workshop offers engagement with questions that have been at the forefront of political discourse in recent years: can uncivil\, violent resistance ever be justified as a means of protest? The workshop brings together leading and emerging scholars who work on the meaning\, practice\, and ethics of uncivil resistance\, from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and in a variety of political contexts. Together\, their research challenges the dominant approach to the ethics of protest in liberal ethics\, according to which protest even in so-called liberal democratic states must remain civil and nonviolent. Papers presented in this workshop will examine the nature of incivility\, the tension between incivility and democracy (if such a tension exists)\, the justification of uncivil protest from the perspective of excluded and marginalized groups\, and the limits to incivility and violent protests. Examining such questions from the perspectives of moral philosophy\, critical theory\, Africana and Indigenous philosophy\, as well as philosophy of language aims to generate new understandings on the ethics of protest and resistance. \nThe workshop is organized by Avia Pasternak (Toronto) and Candice Delmas (Northeastern) and will take place in the spaces of the Centre for Ethics at the University of Toronto. \nPlease note that registration is now closed. \nSchedule\nDay 1 (October 12)\n  \n\n\n\n9:00 \nCoffee\, Start\, and Introductions\n\n\n\n9:15-10:30 \nJosé Medina (Northwestern University)\, “Breaking Silences: Kissing\, Shaming\, and Other Things to Do When Protest Has to Be Uncivil”\n\n\n\n10-min break\n\n\n\n\n10:40-11:55\nCristina Lafont (Northwestern University)\, “Uncivil Protest and Democratic Legitimacy” \n\n\n\n11:55-12:55\nLUNCH\n\n\n\n12:55-14:10\nErin Pineda (Smith College)\, “Carceral Disobedience and Abolitionist Horizons”\n\n\n\n10-min break\n\n\n\n\n14:20-15:20 \nJeff Howard (University College London)\, “The Ethics of Prison Breaks” (Zoom)\n\n\n\n15-min break\n\n\n\n\n15:35-16:50\nTemi Ogunye (Princeton University)\, “What Does It Mean to Be Civil?” \n\n\n\n\nDay 2 (October 13)\n\n\n\n9:00 \nCoffee\n\n\n9:15-10:30 \n Yann Allard-Tremblay (McGill University)\, “Indigenous Resistance: Sovereignty\, Transgression\, and Transformation””\n\n\n10-min break\n\n\n\n10:40-11:40\nẸniọlá Ànúolúwapọ́ Ṣóyẹmí (Oxford)\, “Participation (and Uncivil Non-Participation) in Steve Biko’s Ethics of Just Resistance” (Zoom)\n\n\n10-min break\n\n\n\n11:50-13:05\nDaniel Viehoff (New York University)\, “On Harming Officials to Stop Injustice”\n\n\n13:05-14:15\nLUNCH\n\n\n14:15-15:30\nCM Lim (Nanyang Technological University)\, “Political Resistance and Property Damage”\n\n\n15-min break\n\n\n\n15:45-17:00\nAvia Pasternak (University of Toronto)\, “Meeting the Necessity test in Violent Protests”\n\n\n\n\n  \nSpeakers\n\nCandice Delmas is an associate professor of Philosophy and Political Science at Northeastern University.
