Does Meritocracy Undermine Democracy? A Conversation with Michael Sandel
A Webinar Conversation with Michael Sandel - originator of Harvard's legendary course "Justice"
Michael Sandel is the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Government at Harvard. His writings—on justice, ethics, democracy, meritocracy, and markets—have been translated into more than 30 languages. His legendary course “Justice” was the first Harvard course to be made freely available online and has been viewed by tens of millions of people around the world. Michael grew up in Hopkins MN so we will count him as an honorary member of the Harvard Club of Minnesota. See this Strib article about him.
Sandel’s books include The Tyranny of Merit: Can We Find the Common Good?; Democracy's Discontent: A New Edition for Our Perilous Times; What Money Can’t Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets; Justice: What’s the Right Thing to Do?; and The Case against Perfection: Ethics in the Age of Genetic Engineering.
Sandel has been a visiting professor at the Sorbonne and delivered the Tanner Lectures on Human Values at Oxford, the Reith Lectures of the BBC, and the Kellogg Lecture on Jurisprudence at the US Library of Congress. A recipient of Spain's Princess of Asturias Award for Social Sciences, Sandel has shaped dialogue within and beyond the academy on the most vexing moral and civic questions of our time.
