20429 - Interrogating Moral and Economic Harm

Description

Over recent decades, societies and populations around the world have endured mounting economic injuries. They have seen rising inequalities and declining commitments to social safety nets, education, good jobs, housing, humane immigration, and more. But economic injuries are always also moral ones. How have shifting economic realities compromised the humanity of individuals, families, communities and societies? How do people collectively experience and navigate these currents? This panel seeks to investigate, empirically and theoretically, the many intersections of moral and economic degradation in current times. It will touch on areas such as housing provision, immigration, the criminal legal system, and post-colonial nationhood.
