I was alerted to this article this morning: Can Progressives Be Convinced That Genetics Matters? https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/09/13/can-progressives-be-convinced-that-genetics-matters
It should delight those amongst us who rant about the "woke". 8^D But it dovetails nicely with the fraught concept of equality in the other thread. Coincidentally, also on 9/6, the BIAPT announced their early career prize winner Emily McTernan: https://www.associationforpoliticalthought.ac.uk/biapt-2021-early-career-prize-winner-dr-emily-mcternan/ "In her forthcoming monograph, Dr McTernan develops her work on social equality further, to advance a pioneering conceptual account – and robust normative defence – of the phenomenon of ‘taking offence’. Therein, McTernan contends, we should understand taking offence, under appropriate conditions, as a civic virtue rather than a vice, as an emotion that embodies the resistance of social inequalities within a community."
