This month\u2019s podcast comes from Dr Aidan McGlynn, who discusses a paper he recently presented called \u2018How pornography works: Pornography as undermining propaganda.\u2019 Aidan is a lecturer in philosophy in the school of PPLS and has worked on a wide range of philosophical topics.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
His previous focus has mostly been on issues in epistemology to do with knowledge, belief, justification and the various issues in the philosophy of language and the mind. In the last couple of years Aidan has turned his attention to more socially and politically charged topics within philosophy, including pornography. His paper draws on work from Rae Langton, Catharine MacKinnon and Susan Brownmiller together with Jason Stanley\u2019s work on propaganda, and offers fresh insight into this highly controversial topic.<\/p>\n
