About this episode
This episode explores the concept of fairness in various social contexts with guest Angarika Deb.
Can any interaction between two people ever really be fair? In this episode from February 2024, we sit down with Angarika Deb to chat about how to understand fairness, and what it means in relation to equality, equity, and justice. We end up covering a wide range of topics that fairness implicates, from gendered divisions of labor and resource distribution, to political movements and social justice.
