MAP SeminarE0.23 (PAIS), Social Sciences BuildingSpeaker: Sameer Bajaj Title: 'Protesting Injustice: Fairness, Sacrifice and Civility' Abstract: Recent democratic movements worldwide have put pressure on traditional views of the permissible ways of protesting injustice in democratic societies. These movements raise the following questions: Must principled disobedience of the law be civil as opposed to uncivil? Is rioting ever a permissible method of protesting injustice? What is the proper place of anger in protest movements? Can counterproductive forms of protest - forms of protest that predictably lead political majorities to respond with greater injustices - ever be justified? In this session, we will discuss these and related questions. |
