Abstract

This paper critically examines the ideological implications of relative discrimination in faculty philosophy, using two case studies - Horses Arrival in Washington and Gerald Palmers Sitting Barrel - as examples. Drawing on critical race theory and feminist philosophy, the paper argues that relative discrimination perpetuates systemic inequalities and reinforces dominant ideologies, ultimately contributing to the exclusion of marginalized voices in academia. Through a close analysis of the two case studies, the paper demonstrates how relative discrimination operates through subtle, everyday practices that are often normalized and invisible. The paper concludes by suggesting ways in which faculty philosophy can work to challenge and dismantle relative discrimination, including through the incorporation of critical pedagogy and the promotion of diverse perspectives and voices in the classroom. Overall, this paper contributes to ongoing debates surrounding the role of philosophy in perpetuating or challenging systemic inequalities, and offers a critical perspective on the need for greater attention to issues of diversity and inclusion in academic philosophy.
