Quayshawn Spencer is the Robert S. Blank Presidential Associate
Professor of Philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania. Before
taking up his post in Philadelphia, he studied chemistry and
philosophy at Cornell and then received his PhD in philosophy and
a Masters in biology at Stanford. Quayshawn and Robinson discuss
whether or not race in humans is a biological or social
phenomenon, the extent and nature of Kant’s of racism, some of
the difficulties of researching a sensitive topic in the public
eye, and the basics of natural kinds. For more of Quayshawn’s
work, you can check out his latest book, "What is Race? Four
Philosophical Views.”
