Just Theory – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, we are speaking with Salomé Viljoen, an Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School, where she studies the information economy, particularly data about people and the automated systems that are trained on such data.

Salomé is interested in how information law structures inequality and how alternative legal arrangements might address that inequality.

We discuss the concept of privacy, creating a cohesive data framework and legal interests in the data landscape.

In this episode, we are speaking with Regina Schouten, Professor of Philosophy at Harvard University, where she researches the areas of social and political philosophy and ethics.  Her most sustained research projects concern political liberalism and political legitimacy, educational justice, and the gendered division of labor.

We discuss the importance of choice of normative principles in the democratic order, the role of equality in theories of justice, and wide-ranging perspectives on liberalism.

We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.
