"The Politics of Structural Injustice": Maeve McKeown with Ashok Kumar
London event on Tuesday 26th March
We are excited to announce that we are hosting another in-person event in just under two weeks:
Date: Tuesday 26th March
Time: 7pm-9pm
Venue: Conway Hall, London
Title: With Power Comes Responsibility: The Politics of Structural Injustice
Speakers: Maeve McKeown in conversation with Ashok Kumar
What is structural injustice, and who ultimately bears responsibility for it?
In this event to coincide with the publication of her new book, With Power Comes Responsibility: The Politics of Structural Injustice, political theorist Maeve McKeown will explore how power and responsibility truly function in today’s world. Drawing on case studies from sweatshops to climate change, McKeown will help us shape a deeper, more sophisticated idea of how structural injustice operates and what we as individuals can do about it.
What is the political responsibility of ordinary individuals? How can ordinary individuals with very little power pressure morally responsible, powerful agents to address structural injustice? Do we have the same responsibility for historical injustice as we do for that which we see in today’s world?
This event aims for nothing less than a fundamental reassessment of the relationship between power, ordinary people, and responsibility for structural injustice. You can find out more and buy tickets here.
