VIRTUAL EVENT: The idea of crisis justice
In this webinar, Dr Andrew Chitty (University of Sussex) will share an intuitive idea which suggests that in situations of crisis those who are the best off should be the first to make sacrifices. He calls this idea 'crisis justice'.
VIRTUAL EVENT: The idea of crisis justice
27 Jan 2021, 17:30 – 19:00
For more information and to register for the event, please contact Alison Brady.
Dr Chitty will provide a fuller analysis on the idea of crisis justice and investigate some of the ways in which it might be justified philosophically.
He will also look at how crisis justice can be represented in the idea of 'climate justice' and in ideas of justice that inform our thinking about the allocation of scarce resources (for example vaccinations, or the incomes of universities) in the conditions of the present pandemic.
