Harney Lecture Series
A common critique of efforts to apply principles of social justice to policies that affect the disenfranchised is that the people who benefit are not waiting their turn or are cutting in line. The framing of people who are offered or receive help as line-cutters has been remarkably successful in fanning resentment. This is in part because queuing activates a powerful but often subterranean set of reactions and beliefs. This talk will invite the audience to think about how easily we defer to the authority of first-come-first served principles, why we do so, and why this often yields troubling outcomes. Special attention will be paid to cases involving immigration, refuge, and asylum.
