- Sep 264:00 PMRisk, Insurance and the Welfare StateAt the core of the modern welfare state is the institution of social insurance, which provides event-conditioned benefits through a publicly orchestrated system of contributions and distribution. At the core of the modern welfare state is the institution of social insurance, which provides event-conditioned benefits through a publicly orchestrated system of contributions and distribution. Tracing an intellectual history of the practice from the time of the French Revolution through the present, this talk offers an account of how and why social insurance became one of the central policy tools of wealthy democracies. This history reveals that the way in which risk is conceived and calculated has important consequences for the design of social policy. It also shows that the capacity of social insurance to accommodate a plurality of normative principles and aims helps to account for its prominence and political resilience as an institution. Professor Friedman's book, Probable Justice: Risk, Insurance, and the Welfare State (Chicago: 2020) is available for those interested in reading further.

- Sep 264:00 PMTeale Lecture: Conceptual Frameworks and New Frontiers in Energy JusticeAbstract: Energy justice has emerged as a potent topic, approach, and theme within recent energy and climate research. This presentation explores how concepts from justice and ethics can inform energy decision-making and highlight the futurity, fairness, and equity dimensions of energy production and use. It defines "energy justice" as a global energy system that fairly distributes both the benefits and costs of energy services, and one that contributes to more representative and inclusive energy decision-making. Such an assessment brings together core understandings of distributional and procedural justice alongside cosmopolitan interpretations of equity and recognitional notions of fairness. The presentation then focuses on six new frontiers or fruitful areas of future research. First is making the case for the involvement of non-Western justice theorists. Second is expanding beyond humans to look at the Rights of Nature or non-anthropocentric notions of justice. Third is focusing on cross-scalar issues of justice such as embodied emissions. Fourth is identifying business models and the co-benefits of justice. Fifth is better understanding the tradeoffs within energy justice principles. Sixth is confronting utopian or falsely constructed justice discourses. It argues in favor of "justice-aware" energy planning and policymaking, and it hopes that its (reconsidered) energy justice conceptual framework offers a critical tool to inform decision-making and future research programs.
