Non-Ideal Theory and Racial Passing: Anything but IranianIn Hilkje C. Hänel & Johanna Müller (eds.), Routledge Handbook of Non-Ideal Theory. forthcoming.Living under oppression, individuals develop variety of survival mechanisms. Racial passing has historically been one of those tactics. Some people in the Iranian American community living under unfavorable conditions have resorted to passing to gain the benefits of being non-Iranian. I find passing both personally and philosophically challenging. I have wondered if living as a passing person implies a lack of integrated self and inauthenticity. Elsewhere, I have argued against this notion. In t…Read more

Race, Identity, Stereotyping and Voluntary OppressionGlobal Virtue Ethics Review 6 (1): 13-27. 2010.Many immigrants and their children ask themselves the question of identity. Often we allow others to identify us and colonize our consciousness. Once we are “given” our identities, we are then stereotyped because of them. We then reap the benefit, or the disadvantages of our stereotypes. In turn social stereotypes that surround us, further shape our self-identity and consequently, the decisions we make. If we have no other outlet or if we feel as though there are no other options, we live those …Read more

19Race and oppression: Philosophical issues in voluntary oppressionDissertation, University of Kansas. 2008.In my dissertation I discuss voluntary racial oppression. In my view coercion is not required for all oppressive situations. The psychologically oppressed, internalizes the expectation of inferiority and becomes one's own oppressor. This theory of oppression can best explain the situation of racial minorities in the United States. There are no laws discriminating against racial minorities. So, their oppression is not externally inflicted. I provide Sally Haslanger's theory of race. I believe in …Read more
