The Robert H. Litowitz lecture series was established in honor of Robert Litowitz, a young scholar at the Divinity School in the late 1980s, who pursued questions about public ethics and policy that cross disciplines and that bridge religious traditions and diverse cultures. When he was diagnosed with cancer in 1989 (while still a student at Yale), he established a charitable trust whose aim would be to support interdisciplinary research, teaching, scholarships in ethics and social policy. This lecture series represents some of the fruits of his concerns.

Professor Brown will discuss two trends have that grown in ideological force in Arab politics in recent years: one emphasizing popular sovereignty and democratic accountability; the other stressing the divine origin of political authority. Do these operate at cross purposes? And might either trend tame the authoritarian patterns that seem so deeply entrenched in the region?

The United States is the only Western democratic nation to practice capital punishment in the 21st century. Lethal injection was introduced in the late 1970s as a more palatable alternative to evidently brutal methods of execution such as electrocution, hanging, and firing squads. Today, executions are staged as a quasi-medical procedure in which the inmate/patient is put to sleep – and put to death – on a gurney, hooked up to an IV machine, sometimes with the direct participation of medical professionals such as anesthesiologists. Medical knowledge and authority is both invoked to justify the practice of lethal injection and also strictly limited in its capacity to critique, or even to optimize, this practice. In the Supreme Court case, Baze v Rees (2008), prisoners on Kentucky’s death row called for the use of medical technology and expertise to minimize pain during execution. The court denied their request, but in response to a dissenting opinion, many states introduced manual “cons

“Turning the Corner to Climate Safety: The Economics and the Politics of Solving the Climate Crisis” Speaker: Nathaniel Keohane, Senior Vice President, Climate Program, Environmental Defense Fund Lecture was presented on April 26, 2018 at the Institution for Social and Policy Studies at Yale. Climate change is one of the defining challenges of our world today. With temperatures and sea levels rising, and extreme weather events becoming increasingly frequent, we are already getting a glimpse of the possible future – and yet global emissions of greenhouse gases continue on their seemingly inexorable rise. What impacts are we likely to see in the decades ahead from a changing climate? What can we do to turn the corner on rising emissions and put the planet on a path toward climate safety? Join Nathaniel Keohane, a former Yale professor and Obama Administration official and now Senior VP and head of climate at Environmental Defense Fund, for a discussion of the threats facing all of us – a

In this talk, activist and former environmental law professor Wayne Hsiung, Co-founder of Direct Action Everywhere, discusses how climate change has devastated non-human life, why that matters for the future of human civilization, and why building animal rights into our political system -- starting with a single green, compassionate city (a #GreenNewCity) -- is the fastest way out of the climate crisis.

The Ethics, Politics, and Economics program is hosting the annual Litowitz lecture with guest speaker Anne Phillips, Professor Emerita of Political Theory at the London School of Economics. Professor Phillips will present her work on Unconditional Equals (Princeton University Press, 2022). Given the scale of contemporary poverty, many consider it either inappropriate or just fantastical to also worry about inequality. The priority, it is said, should be the alleviation of poverty and destitution. If societies could once guarantee that everyone had enough – that we all had sufficient resources for an adequate life – there would be no need to also worry about inequality. The presumption is that citizens of at least liberal democracies already enjoy a basic ‘status’ equality (are already in some significant sense regarded as equals), and that the persistence of even gross material inequality does not affect this. The view seriously mistakes both the history of claims about our supposedly
