Conversations on Inequality and Public Policy: Affirmative Action with Glenn Loury (Live Recording)
Listen now
Description
The 2023 Supreme Court decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard and UNC struck down race-based college admissions. It reignited debates about affirmative action as a tool for addressing inequality and historical injustice. In an interview recorded live at the Harris School of Public Policy in November, Stone Center Director Steven Durlauf and Brown University economist Glenn Loury discuss their different perspectives on affirmative action. Ethan Bueno de Mesquita, Interim Dean of the Harris School, moderates the event. This is the first installment of a series of Conversations on Inequality. These conversations aim to present audiences with arguments on both sides of a complex and nuanced issue with the hope of fostering a citizenry able to evaluate opposing perspectives critically and make informed decisions.
