Veritas Forum Lectures

This Veritas Forum Lecture titled "Mercy and Injustice in America's Prisons" takes insights from my book The Decline of Mercy in Public Life (co-authored with John Michael Parrish, Cambridge 2014) on the history of mercy and applies it to contemporary debates about criminal punishment.

This Veritas Forum Lecture titled "Toleration and Justice in a Broken World" draws on my earlier book (Locke and the Legislative Point of View, Princeton 2002) on toleration to discuss the relationship between the toleration of diversity and the pursuit of justice.
