Abstract: Logic in Conversation and its Application to Academic Advising: How Our Words Create Otherness

H.P. Grice gives philosophical guidance through his work, 'Logic and Conversation', where he describes how people share a desire for 'expression/assertion of a logical equivalence' called a cooperative principle, a mutually accepted direction in the conversation. This requires four distinct maxims: quality, quantity, relation, and manner 'Grice, 1975'. By exploring these maxims, we can work to facilitate conversations while advising students without assuming any level of knowledge about their questions and inquiries. When adapting this to research on belonging and engagement, we can work towards more proactive and empathetic conversations with special populations, including first generation, international, and underrepresented students. While learning each maxim we also identify our own intellectual assumptions and biases that we bring to the advising conversation.
