Prof Lee A. McBride III on his book ‘Ethics & Insurrection: A Pragmatism for the Oppressed’

lecture 8: Professor Lee A. McBride III

on Ethics & Insurrection: A Pragmatism for the Oppressed

Also from Professor McBride:

Pragmatist Feminism and the Work of Charlene Haddock Seigfried

Edited with Erin McKenna

"This wide­ranging book carefully sets out the enormous influence of Seigfried’s work on both philosophy and feminism. It illustrates Seigfried’s role as the key contemporary propagator of pragmatist feminism, and forms an insightful tribute to her life and work that will be essential reading for practitioners and scholars working across various disciplines."

~ Clara Fischer, Vice­Chancellor Illuminate Fellow, Queens’ University Belfast, Northern Ireland

"This important collection does double-duty, advancing the field of pragmatist feminism and exploring the groundbreaking work of Charlene Haddock Seigfried, who put the field on the map. Not only is the book intellectually rich, but it also demonstrates the powerful impact that Seigfried has had on many lives and careers."

~ Shannon Sullivan, Professor of Philosophy and Health Psychology, UNC Charlotte, USA
