A Theory of Discrimination Law 

Tuesday, September 29, 2015
12:30 – 2:00
Solarium (room FA2), Falconer Hall
84 Queen’s Park 

Dr Khaitan will speak to some of the themes animating his recent book, A Theory of Discrimination Law (OUP 2015). It provides an analysis of the core features of discrimination law across different jurisdictions. The book aims to  link these features with a particular theory of how the state can promote well-being by reducing the persistent relative disadvantages faced by certain groups. Chapter 1 is being circulated to give participants sufficient background to the project to participate in the discussion.  

Tarun Khaitan is an Associate Professor and the Hackney Fellow in Law at Wadham College. He is also an Associate Director of the Oxford Human Rights Hub. He completed his undergraduate studies (BA LLB Hons) at the National Law School (Bangalore) between 1999-2004. He then came to Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar and completed his postgraduate studies (BCL with distinction, MPhil with distinction, DPhil) at Exeter College. Before joining Wadham, he was the Penningtons Student in Law at Christ Church. 

OUP has recently published his monograph entitled 'A Theory of Discrimination Law'. 

A light lunch will be servied.
