The event welcomes all students and scholars. Registration at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/developing-equality-with-jonathan-wolff-and-craig-holmes-tickets-31359239329
The first panelist is, Professor Jonathan Wolff, Chair of Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government. As a well-known political philosopher, he will share his thoughts on the concept of social equality from a philosophical point of view. He will be discussing What it means to be equal and unequal? and its implications for public policy in the UK.
The second panelist is Craig Holmes, a labour economist, teaching fellow in Economics at Pembroke College and Senior Research Fellow on INET’s Employment, Equity and Growth Programme. He will be discussing Economic (In)Equality. More specially how wage differences are determined by technology, organisations, and education and training.
The aim of the INET Young Scholars Initiative is to give young scholars around the world an opportunity to reflect on important issues related to economics through a multidisciplinary lens. Through this initiative we want to help students develop a better understanding and reflect on the bigger picture questions. This talk offers two different perspectives on inequality (philosophical and economic). This event will be webcasted live to members from the YSI community. (LINK TBC)
