Does philosophy challenge class oppression or reproduce class antagonism? Is it welcoming to students from all socioeconomic backgrounds or inherently elitist? In this video, Dr. Peña-Guzmán and Dr. Spera interview Dr. Heather Stewart (https://www.heatherstewartphilosophy.com/) about her co-authored work on the politics of class in contemporary academic philosophy. Here, they discuss how philosophers have traditionally related to class and the struggles that students from lower socioeconomic and working-class backgrounds face when pursuing a philosophy degree. At stake in this discussion is philosophy’s political orientation and the ability of philosophers to engage in genuine self-critique. This interview stems from Dr. Spera and Dr. Peña-Guzmán’s recent book, Professional Philosophy and Its Myths (https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/professional-philosophy-and-its-myths-9781666939729/)
