Chauncey Maher, the Thomas Bowman Professor of Philosophy at Dickinson College and author of The White Moderate, Plant Minds and The Pittsburgh School, argues that under entrenched racial inequality, telling people to wait for freedom is an exercise of domination. Drawing on the 1963 Birmingham episode in which eight white clergymen urged black demonstrators to wait, while Martin Luther King answered from his jail cell, he shows how white moderates certify calls for equality while de-certifying the means of pursuing it, undermining a claim to equal standing while assuming the authority to decide when it is granted.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/new-york/events/philosophy-colloquiumchauncey-maher-wait-as-a-form-of-domina-88277/", "official_url": "", "image": "https://noky.io/images/e24490de4abb9ac69338aafaf4a3e49e7591b5bd583cd766f643d6a43b10ddc8-2000.webp"}, {"title": "DOUGLASS: THE RECKONING: A WORKING PROCESS", "start": "2026-11-02T19:00:00-05:00", "end": "2026-11-02T20:00:00-05:00", "place": "La MaMa", "address": "East 4th Street 66, 10003 New York", "price": "free", "price_from": "0.00", "price_to": "0.00", "category": "theatre", "tags": ["stage/theatre/experimental-theatre", "history/abolitionism"], "description": "DOUGLASS: THE RECKONING: A WORKING PROCESS is a performance project in development, presented as a town hall that invites audiences into the making of a new work.
