What is gaslighting and how do we decide? with Dr. Kate Abramson
10/01/2025    
4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
Everyone’s talking about gaslighting these days, but it’s often not clear that they’re even talking about the same subject! How do we decide what we should and shouldn’t call “gaslighting”? And why does it matter? To answer these questions, we need to think about what other words  we might use to describe certain experiences, about moral considerations that enter into the question of what we should call “gaslighting”, and about what features our everyday interactions must have if they are to have any hope of going well. Together, these considerations point us towards a particular conception of gaslighting and an answer to the question of why it matters what we call gaslighting.
