"Rethinking Gender Inequalities in Organizations"

🔗 https://www.elgaronline.com/monobook-oa/book/9781802207385/9781802207385.xml

This book questions traditional perspectives on gender inequality. By melding post-structuralist thought with process ontology, it offers a fresh conceptual framework for reconsidering gender disparities in organizational and managerial contexts.

Colette for my Ages project.

Ages is a joyful reframing of age and a protest against ageism. Ageist images and notions festishise the younger and brand the old as ugly.

More info at https://starshumansnests.com/phil-pool-art/age where you will also find links to the participants.

Ages – the time it’s taken you.. This is a project about age, the social construction of age. I think it’s a harmful construction – unlike this project. It messes with how we thin…

Phil Pool - Art and Protest

Another wonderful person added to my Ages project, the 22nd person. Hopefully a couple more this week. https://starshumansnests.com/ages/

Much as each individual story is interesting and, hopefully the images are good too, they are all part of a wider project. It is about the social construction of age, which is largely harmful. Each participant is another example of someone, whatever age they happen to be, just being present - who and how they are just now. Do read what they have to say, the photos are vital of course, but they are only part of the process.

I'm hoping to gather more people and to stretch the age range of the participants and the diversity of body types. Get in touch if you'd like to join.

Ohhh, Rest In Probability Ian Hacking, who passed away yesterday aged 87 - one of the absolute best historian/philosophers of probability, statistics, mental illness and of science in general, his new Introduction to the 50th Anniversary Edition of Thomas Kuhn's classic The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is especially worth reading.

Ian Hacking (1936-2023) | Daily Nous

Ian Hacking, emeritus professor of philosophy at the University of Toronto and an influential figure in the philosophy of science, has died. Professor Hacking is well known for his work across a range of subjects, including philosophy of science, the philosophy of probability, philosophy of math, philosophy of language, philosophy of mental illness, social construction, and the philosophy of history, among others. His books include The Logic of Statistical Inference (1965), The Emergence of Probability (1975), Why Does Language Matter to Philosophy? (1975), The Taming of Chance (1990), Rewriting the Soul: Multiple Personality and the Sciences of Memory (1995), Mad Travelers: Reflections on the Reality of Transient Mental Illnesses (1998), The Social Construction of What? (1999), Historical Ontology (2002), and Why Is There Philosophy of Mathematics at All? (2014). You can learn more about his writings here. Hacking joined the faculty at Toronto in 1983. Prior to that, he held positions at Stanford University, University of Cambridge, University of British Columbia, University of Virginia, and Princeton University, as well as visiting positions at a number of institutions. He earned his PhD from Cambridge and undergraduate degrees from Cambridge and British Columbia. Over the course of his career, Hacking was the recipient of many fellowships, awards, and honors, the Killam Prize in 2002,  the Gold Medal for Achievement in Research from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada in 2008, the Holberg Prize in 2009, and the Balzan Prize in 2014. In the citation for the Holberg Prize, the judges write: Hacking has been called a “true bridge-builder”. He is so in several respects. Hacking’s approach is historical, interdisciplinary, and always highly original. Furthermore, his research is a central contribution to bridging the gap that characterised the academic debates of the latter decades of the 20th century on how to understand science. This gap often manifested itself in terms of contested understandings of scientific knowledge, and in particular around the degree to which scientific knowledge was to be seen as socially and historically constructed. Always far from the trenches of these so-called Science Wars, Hacking paved the way forward and showed by example how analytical and historical perspectives may work in combination. He died on May 10th. The University of Toronto..

Great piece by Jamelle Bouie: “As everyone in this conflict over history understands, education is as much about the creation and maintenance of a social order as it is the dissemination of skills and knowledge.”

The question is not which allies he hopes to empower or which elections he hopes to win, but what order he hopes to create and usher into being.
