Just so people know if there is a criterion that needs to be met by the proposed philosopher in order to be on this list.Cecilea Mun, Ph.D.

I haven’t gotten to everyone who seemed to interested to be on this kind of list simply cause it takes a while. So please help if you can.############################https://professorwatchlist.wordpress.com/the-list-of-those-present/The format is this:NAME Then a pithy phrase.Plus I’ll need a website to hyperlink your name. This could be anything from your page on your department website, your academia.edu page, or philpaper page, or personal blog. The idea is that details about where you work etc will be found there.Some of my recent attempts to capture in a phrase what someone does. This is kind of hard! If you see I’ve done one for you already and you’d like to change my wording, please send that to me.Judith Butler Explores precarity in an age of conformity.Eva Feder Kittay Teaches us a lot about what it is to be human.
Alasdair MacIntyre Communitarian Catholic fed up with liberalism.

Please send your suggestions to me, replying to me only and not the whole list.best to all,Noëlle

Also this helps with the satire. With help of many of you, I’ve been making those widely beloved figures like Socrates sound like dangerous radicals. The satire or twist depends on the figure: https://professorwatchlist.wordpress.com/the-list/ If we were to list Marx, we’d need to tame him somehow. This is satire.And for the list of those present, I think it works best to make those who have been deemed dangerous sound perfectly reasonable. https://professorwatchlist.wordpress.com/the-list-of-those-present/George Yancy Points out what ought to be obvious to white folks but because of white privilege isn't.The goal is to both reclaim the word “radical” and to tame it. So please don’t offer a description of yourself as a wild-eyed radical — unless perhaps you work on something that is patently innocuous, otherwise we will just play into the alt-right meme. Show how what you do is great for society. Or just say something silly.Again, please use the form on the website to submit something or email me at [log in to unmask]. And please include a website for yourself (department page is fine) that I can link your name to.best,Noëlle
