juliana bidadanure /  NEW YORK UNIVERSITY

Juliana Bidadanure is Associate Professor of Philosophy and, by courtesy, of Law at New York University. Before that, she was Assistant Professor of Philosophy and, by courtesy, of Political Science at Stanford University. At Stanford, she founded and directed the Basic Income Lab, an academic home for the study of the politics, economics, and philosophy of universal basic income. Most of Bidadanure's research has been concerned with theorizing the distributive and relational value of equality and developing policy responses to inequalities. Her book Justice Across Ages: Treating Young and Old as Equals (Oxford University Press, 2021) developed a theory of justice between age groups that helps guide a fair distribution of goods like jobs, healthcare, income, and political power between people at different stages of their lives. Bidadanure still writes on the philosophy of inequalities, and in particular on what she calls "technologies of debasement" - those inferiorizing modes of relating that bring us down. She is writing on demonization and infantilization at the moment.
