Chet Mitchell Memorial Lecture | \u201cHuman Rights in the Neoliberal Maelstrom\u201d<\/a>
\n<\/strong>January 15, 2018 at 7:00 PM, Richcraft Hall<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With special guest, Professor Samuel Moyn<\/a> (Yale Law School and Department of History)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lecture takes a position in a current debate about how to conceptualize the relationship between human rights and neoliberal globalization. The timing of the two phenomena \u2014 one in ethics and one in economics \u2014 has coincided, both rising since a 1970s breakthrough. But debate rages about whether to see human rights as the best tools to oppose their neoliberal Doppelg\u00e4nger or to regard the new law and movements around rights \u2014 including economic and social rights \u2014 as part of the problem. This talk rejects both extreme positions in order to seek a different alternative. Of course human rights are a product of their time, but this hardly means they are easy to dismiss. However, as a set of ethical propositions and a set of practices, human rights are not what we need to confront economic injustice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
