Ep. 124 - On Being a Girl in Philosophy

In this episode Bethany talks about what it’s like to be a woman in the world of professional philosophy. Spoiler: People don’t really like it when girls have opinions. Why does she keep at it, then? No one knows.

Also covered: The first time our hosts each taught a class, how Aaron has received pushback from other Black philosophers for not working on philosophy of race, and how marginalized people have less freedom to produce mediocre work.

Listen to the end to hear Bethany say something so heinous it made Aaron take off his headphones and leave the room.
