Themes covered will include; justifications and critiques of global inequalities; the centrality of human rights; global poverty and inequality; environmental justice; neoliberalism. Attention will be paid to the complex interconnections of empirical and normative issues raised by the shaping and reshaping of our discourses on global inequalities.

Special attention will be paid to S. Moyn magistral historical account of human rights in his 2019 influential Not Enough: Human Rights in an Unequal World (Cambridge MA: Harvard University Press).
