A discussion with Jeannie Suk Gersen, Harry Litman and Sarah Isgur on the end of affirmative action and more. In the discussion, HLS professor Jeannie Suk Gerson points out how Roberts’ opinion uses the same rationale as affirmative action supporters. Roberts’ opinion, the “escape value,” says you can “take into account the perspective that someone brings in terms of how race affected their lives and shaped their views or shaped their future... I think that that is the way that often defenders of affirmative action explain why diversity is important.”
FAIR Executive Director Monica Harris (JD 91) hosts a powerful discussion with FAIR Advisor and Harvard alum Nadine Strossen (AB ‘72, JD ‘75) and Stanford professor of medicine Dr. Jay Bhattacharya.
by FAIR Advisor Monica Harris (HLS 91)
Published in late 2022, this important book by HLS alum and FAIR Advisor Monica Harris asks whether America is really as divided as it seems, or whether or our collective reality has been distorted— What if we’re not as different as we think? What if what we’re seeing is just the illusion of division? Harris asks us to “unplug” from the narratives and find the courage to see through the illusion of division. Only then will we solve the most pressing problems we share and create the country we deserve.
