COMPAS Fall Conference: When Do Inequalities Matter?
The 2016-17 Inequality COMPAS program kicks off with a major interdisciplinary conference that aims to engage a general audience by focusing on four intersecting policy issues at the heart of debates about inequality today: Mass IncarcerationNeighborhoods and Social InequalityHealth DisparitiesEconomic Inequality and Democracy These issues raise important questions about poverty and opportunity, individual well-being and institutional justice, and the rights and responsibilities of democratic citizenship. They also cause us to reflect on the social and political effects of class, race, gender, and other factors. To help frame these issues, the opening panel will address the ethical question of when and why inequality matters: are all inequalities equally important? We are delighted to welcome Richard Wilkinson for a keynote lecture on themes related to his bestselling book, The Spirit Level: Why Greater Equality Makes Societies Stronger (Bloomsbury, 2011), co-authored with Kate Pickett. The conference is free and open to the public, and there is no registration requirement. Faculty, students, and members of the community are welcome to attend any or all of the sessions that interest them. For a detailed Conference Schedule, please click here. The Center for Ethics and Human Values encourages research and facilitates public discussion on a wide range of foundational and applied moral questions that connect the research, teaching, and other work pursued at Ohio State.
