PANEL 21 / DEVELOPING RELATIONAL EGUALITARIANISM
CONVENORS: DEVON CASS (Nova University of Lisbon) and CHRISTIAN SCHEMMEL (University of Manchester)
All enquiries about the panel should be sent to [email protected] and [email protected].
Relational egalitarianism seeks to characterize the nature in which social relations should be equal rather than hierarchical, and to determine the implications of this ideal for ongoing policy debates. Despite considerable attention in recent decades, there is still much work that remains to be done on these issues. The papers in the panel will explore the nature of relational equality in connection with a range of social phenomena such as everyday interaction (McTernan), social class (Schemmel), political economy (Schuppert), and legal norms (Cass). In addition, the panel will examine the implications of relational equality for health policy (Fourie) and discrimination (Amighetti).
