I was recently invited to talk to students at Howard University on the topic of social justice. The presentation was a welcomed opportunity to pull together and organize some of the ideas I first wrestled with while writing my dissertation, which explored the nature of the injustices associated with the US-led War on Terror; namely, the use of indefinite detention and torture.
I titled my hour-long presentation at HU "The Sociology of Social Justice and the Limits of Law." In the short excerpt above, I discuss different ways of thinking about social justice, and draw what I hope is a distinction between equality and equity.
