Elizabeth Anderson: Wesson Discussion Seminar

Joshua Cohen (Political Science/Philosophy/Law, Stanford) and David Hollinger (History, Berkeley) discuss and respond to Elizabeth Anderson's lecture "Slavery, Emancipation, and the Forgotten History of the Relationship of Freedom and Equality."

Each year the Center brings to Stanford a notable scholar to deliver a set of lectures, endowed by the late Robert Wesson, a political scientist and Hoover Institute Fellow, pertaining to problems in democratic theory and practice. Dr. Wesson hoped that these lectures would help students, scholars, and community members think through important public issues related to democratic governance.
