Guest Lecture by Prof. Kwame Anthony Appiah Renowned philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah will give a guest lecture at the BCDSS on "Identities in History," inspired by his latest book "Lies That Bind: Rethinking Identity." This book is an outgrowth of four lectures Professor Appiah gave for BBC Radio. His aim was to provide a broad audience with a comprehensive understanding of social identities, drawing on philosophy, history, literature and the social sciences. In his original lectures he examined four specific identities: religion, nationality, race and culture, with the addition of the category of class in the book. In this lecture, he will focus in particular on the relationship between identity and race. https://www.dependency.uni-bonn.de/en/events/guest-lecture-by-prof-kwame-anthony-appiah https://www.dependency.uni-bonn.de/@@site-logo/Logo BCDSS_web.png
