DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to our roundtable discussion on ‘Signal Mani
 pulation and the Causal Analysis of Racial Discrimination’\, forthcoming
  at Ergo\, which examines how causal models can be used to understand disc
 rimination experiments\, while making as few commitments as possible regar
 ding the ontology of race.\n\nThe questions that this paper raises and see
 ks to address include:\n\n#1 What is race (does it exist and is it sociall
 y constructed)?\n#2 Is if fruitful to model race causally in detecting dis
 crimination?\n#3 What makes an act racially discriminatory?\n\nAs this is 
 a roundtable discussion\, Naftali won’t be giving a presentation on the 
 paper\, so we ask participants to make themselves familiar with the broad 
 argument of the paper prior to the roundtable discussion. You can access t
 he paper directly "via the CRASSH website":https://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/ev
 ents/33789/\n\nNaftali Winberger is a fellow at the Munich Center for Math
 ematical Philosophy\, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. He has wri
 tten extensively on the nature of causal modelling in general and in the p
 articular context of racial discrimination. Naftali is visiting the ERC pr
 oject QUALITY at CRASSH in May 2022.\n\nPlease register for this talk via 
 the link above\, and detail whether you would like to attend in person or 
 virtually via Zoom. There are limited spaces available so we may close reg
 istration at any time.\n\n \n\nThis event is hosted by the ERC-funded proj
 ect ‘Qualitative and Quantitative Social Science: A Unified Logic of Cau
 sal Inference?’. QUALITY is funded by the European Research Council unde
 r the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for Research and
  Innovation (ERC grant agreement no. 715530)
