Charles W. Mills is John Evans Professor of Moral and Intellectual Philosophy
at Northwestern University. He works in the area of social and political
philosophy, particularly in oppositional political theory as centered on class,
gender and race. His first book, The Racial Contract (Cornell University, 1997),
won a Myers Outstanding Book Award; his second, Blackness Visible: Essays
on Philosophy and Race (Cornell University, 1998), was a finalist for the most
important North American work in social philosophy of that year. Mills asserts
that a striking feature of the literature on social justice produced over the past
few decades is the marginality of racial justice as a central theme. Although
Western political philosophy (liberalism, basically) has undergone a revival
since the mid-20th century, race has been ghettoized as a legitimate topic.
Mills will discuss how a liberalism shaped by a history of domestic and
external colonialism might need to be rethought to deal adequately with race.
