In the run-up to the release of Season 5 this fall, I am doing a series of panel discussions, free and open to the public on May 27th, 5:30pm Eastern Time. The first in the series is posted below. I’d love to see Hi-Phi Nation listeners there!
Event Description:
We live in a time when structural injustices and systemic problems abound, in public health, race relations, gender relations, and more. Policymakers and activists propose structural solutions targeting systems as a whole, like a sugar tax, liability insurance for police, school desegregation, or paid family leave. Policy solutions seldom include suggestions that moral and psychological traits of individuals are at fault or should be the focus of change, like moral education, empathy cultivation, or prejudice and bias reduction. Is there a role for interventions targeting individual moral character or psychology to address at least some of the “structural” problems that we face?
