Susan suggested a bunch of things to read about the philosophy and ethics of listening, for you to follow up: * Talk: The science of conversation by Elizabeth Stokoe * Yo! And Lo! The Pragmatic Topography of the Space of Reasons by Mark Lance and Rebecca Kukla * Dotson, Kristie. "Tracking Epistemic Violence, Tracking Practices of Silencing", Hypatia 26.2 (2011): 236-257. [link to .pdf (http://www.victorkumar.org/uploads/6/1/5/2/61526489/dotson-2011-hypatia.pdf)] * Medina, José. "Varieties of Hermeneutical Injustice 1." The Routledge Handbook of Epistemic Injustice. Routledge, 2017. 41-52. And here are some other things for you to explore that came up in our conversation: * I mentioned the following book at one point: Solnit, Rebecca. Hope in the dark: The untold history of people power. Canongate Books, 2010. * Susan talked a bit about the ethical work done by Elizabeth Edenberg, (http://elizabethedenberg.com/) which emphasises how participants to discussions often have a wide range of commonly held values. * She also mentioned a Horizon-2020 research project at the University of Manchester that looks into youth radicalisation: it's called the Dialogue about Radicalisation and Equality, or DARE (http://www.dare-h2020.org/). * I mentioned the 'deep listening (http://deeplistening.org/site/)' programme of composer Pauline Oliveros. A great introduction to her work can be found on this episode (https://www.newsounds.org/story/performer-part-two-pauline) of WQXR Q2's awesome 'Meet The Composer' series with host Nadia Sirota here. A performance of Oliveros' 'Tuning Mediation' can be seen in 360º video recorded in binaural sound here (https://www.newsounds.org/story/make-radio-met-cloisters-pauline-oliveross-tuning-meditation). * In this regard, Susan also mentioned the following work: Cavarero, Adriana. For more than one voice: Toward a philosophy of vocal expression. Stanford University Press, 2005. You can find Susan online on twitter (@susannotess (https://www.twitter.com/susannotess)), and her academic webpage is here (https://susannotess.wordpress.com/), where you can find links to her work, including this excellent article: * Listening to People: Using Social Psychology to Spotlight an Overlooked Virtue. Philosophy, 94(4), 621-643.
