Spatialising Justice: An Anglo-French Dialogue
07 September 2015 17:30 - 19:00
Location: UCL - Room G01, Medawar Building, Lankester LT, Gower St (WC1E 6BT)
Social justice remains an enduring, if at times muted, driver of social policy. At the city scale, this normative imperative is increasingly being encapsulated through the notion of spatial justice - an attempt to conceptualise, and render actionable, the complex interplay of relations between distribution, recognition, governance and territory.
To help think through the spatialising of social justice in the context of (urban) public policy, the following public event brings together political philosophers Catherine Audard (LSE & Forum for European Philosophy) and Jonathan Wolff (UCL).
Catherine Audard's contribution will centre on "Boundaries and Horizons: Some Remarks on Territorial Justice"; Jonathan Wolff's on "Disadvantage, Spatial Justice and Contemporary Political Philosophy".
The event will be introduced by Barbara Lipietz (DPU, UCL) and Claire Hancock (Université Paris Est, LAB’URBA).
The event represents one component of an exchange workshop between Université Paris Est and UCL (The Bartlett's DPU and Geography), supported by the UCL-Institut Français du Royaume Uni Partnership.
