Justice, Law, Inequality, Democracy, and Related Themes: Ideas Panel

Tuesday, May 1, 2018 at 12:30pm to 2:30pm

In collaboration with the Social Science Ideas Panel Committee
Daniel Lichter and Valerie Hans, Co-Chairs

Cornell University’s social science faculty possess major strengths in justice-related topics.

Cornell’s internal social science report identified a cluster of justice-related issues as one of the clear strengths of Cornell’s social science faculty. Social scientists in diverse departments, colleges, and centers are undertaking theoretical and applied research on race, ethnicity, gender, immigration, and social and economic inequality.  Cornell faculty conduct research to understand patterns, causes, and consequences of social and economic inequality, to assess the development of concepts of justice and fair treatment, and to explore environment justice. Judgment and decision making research by social science faculty across multiple departments and colleges analyzes judgments about justice and fairness.  Faculty in multiple departments examine issues critical to democracy. Finally, Cornell University is a leader in empirical legal studies, which uses empirical research to understand the functioning and impact of law.

Radical collaboration across departments and colleges around issues of justice and related issues has the potential to generate important cutting-edge research and raise the national and international profile of the social sciences at Cornell.
