Dirty Politics: The Role of Disgust in Political and Moral Judgment
In recent years a great deal of psychological research has highlighted the powerful role emotions play in shaping our attitudes and judgments. Evidence has been found that individuals who are more easily disgusted in everyday life tend to have different moral and political views than those who are less easily disgusted. This research helps shed light on how basic differences in emotion can give rise to differences in our judgement about the social world that surrounds us.

Aesthetics in Participatory, Socially Engaged Art
The Philosophy Department and the School of Humanities and Social Sciences present
“Aesthetics in Participatory, Socially Engaged Art”
Michael Kelly, Professor of Philosophy, University of North Carolina, Charlotte
Contemporary art is increasingly participatory and socially engaged. What are the aspirations, operations, and effects of such art? What are its predecessors? How has aesthetics been an explicit partner in the development of participatory art when, by contrast, so much art since the 1960s has been committed to an anti-aesthetic stance? Is art still tied to aesthetics as it becomes ever more socially engaged?
