The topic for this seminar is Equality and Equity. We will begin by surveying some core egalitarian work by Ronald Dworkin and G. A. Cohen. We then turn to criticism of egalitarians and alternative ways of thinking of equality and equity. There are two main non-egalitarian books for the course: George Sher’s Equality for Inegalitarians and Sophia Moreau’s Faces of Inequality: A Theory of Wrongful Discrimination. Given the currency of equity discourse in academic circles, I also welcome recommended readings from students in the course on that topic, which we can discuss during the last few sessions. There will also be an ongoing side conversation on Thomas Piketty’s book A Brief History of Inequality, which will keep us informed of some relevant descriptive work.
