Debt Burdens: Who Owes? Who Pays?

Room 100, George Wells Knight House, 104 E. 15th Ave

A Round Table with Rachel Dwyer (Sociology), Miranda Martinez (Comparative Studies) and Devin Fergus (AAAS/Glenn School)

As interest—financial and political—in various forms of debt keeps mounting, fundamental questions about where we are, and how we got here—and why—deserve some serious consideration.  We ask who benefits from credit, who bears the costs, and where questions of social justice fit in.  

This event kicks off a semester-long series of conversations about debt--personal, public, consumer, structural—and endebtedness. 

Sponsored by the Humanities Institute in conjunction with this year's COMPAS (Conversations in Morality, Politics and Society) theme Public/Private.
