The Weight of Whiteness with Alison Bailey
No full textOverview & Shownotes
Alison Bailey opens her new book, The Weight of Whiteness with an invitation to “wade slowly and mindfully into the weight of whiteness, and to attend to the ways white supremacy has misshapen our nation, our communities, and our humanity.” She writes that while black, indigenous and people of color feel the weight of whiteness daily, most white people tend to numb themselves to this weight. She argues that white people need to do the work of investigating the weight of whiteness, and its effects not just on the mind, but also on the heart. This work involves philosophy and epistemology, but it also involves genealogy. It requires white people to feel the weight of white supremacy they’ve inherited from their ancestors.

White Talk at Work with Alison Bailey
No full textWhat is white talk and what does it look like in the workplace? Getting Ethics to Work’s resident ethicist Andy Cullison interviews the philosopher Alison Bailey, whose work centers on problematic habits that people fall into when they are in uncomfortable terrain. On this episode and every episode, we dig into the complicated moral issues people face at work. If you have a workplace dilemma you need some help with, send your story to our producer Kate at [email protected]. For this episode’s transcript, click here.

37: Pushing Back on Epistemic Pushback with Alison Bailey
No full textIf a professor told you about pushback from their students, you might assume that their students are complaining about having too much homework, or that the assigned reading is boring. The philosopher Alison Bailey says that she often encounters a different, and much more problematic, form of resistance in her classroom. She calls it “epistemic pushback” and explains that students often do it without even noticing. On today\u27s episode, we discuss the phenomenon of privilege protective epistemic pushback. It\u27s a form of resistance in which students who are members of dominant groups derail classroom conversations that make them uncomfortable into an epistemic home turf where they feel more comfortable. Alison Bailey explains exactly what epistemic pushback is, and discusses the ways it slows down classroom conversations
Repositioning the graphic designer as researcher
No full textIn academic terms, the discipline of graphic design is relatively young. Consequently the position of the discipline within academic territory, and the role of the designer, continue to be debated. In part, these debates have been a product of attempts to define and defend the discipline’s borders from within, in order to establish a sense of the role of graphic design and the graphic designer as commensurate with other disciplines both within and beyond art and design. In recent years graphic designers have variously been defined as ‘authors’, ‘producers’ and ‘readers’, yet none of these definitions seem to have provided any kind of productive or lasting impact within the academy. This paper suggests that rather than continue to seek territorial definitions and positions from within, it could be more productive to look beyond the confines of the discipline. Gaining a broader, interdisciplinary perspective on, and understanding of, qualitative research methods from other disciplines may enable the graphic designer to more fully position his or her practice within the wider academy. Such a perspective could help facilitate the repositioning and redefinition of the graphic designer as ‘researcher’ - a move that would be productive in relation to the future development of postgraduate research within the discipline
Understanding intermolecular C–F bond activation by a transient titanium neopentylidyne: experimental and theoretical studies on the competition between 1,2-CF bond addition and [2 + 2]-cycloadditionβ-fluoride elimination
No full textComplex (PNP)Ti=(CHBu)-Bu-t((CH2Bu)-Bu-t) (PNP- = N[2-P(CHMe2)(2)-4-methylphenyl](2)) eliminates (H3CBu)-Bu-t to form transient (PNP)Ti (CBu)-Bu-t, which activates the C-F bond of ortho-difluoropyridine and ortho-fluoropyridine to form the alkylidene-fluoride complexes, (PNP)Ti=C[Bu-t(NC5H3F)](F) (1) and (PNP)Ti=C[Bu-t(NC5H4)](F) (2), respectively. When (PNP)Ti=(CHBu)-Bu-t((CH2Bu)-Bu-t) is treated with meta-fluoropyridine, the ring-opened product (PNP)Ti(C(Bu-t)CC4H3-3-FNH) (3) is the only recognizable titanium metal complex formed. Theoretical studies reveal that pyridine binding disfavors 1,2-CF bond addition across the alkylidyne ligand in the case of ortho-fluoride pyridines, while sequential [2 + 2]-cycloaddition/beta-fluoride elimination is a lower energy pathway. In the case of meta-fluoropyridine, [2 + 2]-cycloaddition and subsequent ring-opening metathesis is favored as opposed to C-H bond addition or sequential [2 + 2]-cycloaddition/beta-hydride elimination. In all cases, C-H bond addition of ortho-fluoropyridines or meta-fluoropyridine is discouraged because such substrate must bind to titanium via its C-H bond, which is rather weak compared to the titanium-pyridine binding
