  • Can Conferralism Account for Systemic Racism

    Open AccessÁstaARTICLEThe Southern Journal of Philosophy2022

    Ásta Kristjana Sveinsdóttir, Ásta et al.BOOKCategories We Live By2018

    We are women, we are men. We are refugees, single mothers, people with disabilities, and queers. We belong to social categories that frame their action, self-understanding, and life options.
