Just Words: On Speech and Hidden Harm
McGowan, Mary Kate (Margaret Clapp '30 Distinguished Alumna Professor of Philosophy, Margaret Clapp '30 Distinguished Alumna Professor of Philosophy, Wellesley College)
We all know that speech can be harmful. But how? Mary Kate McGowan argues that speech constitutes harm when it enacts a norm that prescribes that harm. She investigates such harms as oppression, subordination, and discrimination in such forms of speech as sexist remarks, racist hate speech, pornography, verbal triggers, and micro-aggressions.
