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.
