Elizabeth Anderson

What is equality? Why should we want it? Social equality is not primarily a pattern in the distribution of income or wealth, but a way of relating to others as equals. Anderson will explain what relating to others as equals amounts to in different domains of life, and why such relations are good not only for those who would otherwise be treated as inferiors, but also for those who would otherwise have superior status.

Alondra Nelson

Scholars use terms such as inequality or discrimination to refer to social stratification and its impacts. But what of equity? Nelson will consider equity as an idea that, while partly derived from academic scholarship, is a more capacious sociopolitical category that simultaneously indexes both aspiration and redress.

Moderated Discussion

Woody Powell will engage the two winners in joint conversation, exploring themes of overlapping and intersecting concern. In their work, both Elizabeth Anderson and Alondra Nelson illuminate public understandings and advance discourse on how systems of power and social structures perpetuate inequalities and impact marginalized communities.
