About this listen

Dr. Grant Silva, associate professor at Marquette University, discussed how his philosophy course on global justice challenges students to expand their understandings of power, justice, globalization, and nationalism. The course was in part inspired by field research he conducted along the U.S.-Mexico border, including a ride along with a Customs and Border Patrol unit. Dr. Silva also shares his unique approach to understanding racism as a form of self-love, which he argues allows for better understanding of the motivations individuals act on, even when their beliefs are said to lack bias, prejudice, or “hatred”.

His forthcoming monograph will expand upon the article “Racism as Self-Love” available at https://epublications.marquette.edu/phil_fac/774/.
