The Center for Ethics and Human Values' 2016-17 COMPAS Program on Inequality is hosting a photo contest!
When many people think about inequality, they think of economic inequality—inequality in wealth and income. However, it is important to also examine the causes, significance, and effects of political, legal, and health inequality, the relationships between these forms of inequality, and their connections with race, gender, ethnicity, religion, and LGBTQ status. These different dimensions of inequality can often be difficult to connect with, especially when we do not experience them firsthand. A photograph can change this. A photograph can force us to confront the inequalities that we often overlook, providing the knowledge and motivation needed to foster change. In addition to their general aesthetic merit, submissions will be judged on the ways in which the photographs explore issues related to the COMPAS theme.
Join us on October 27th on the 11th floor of Thompson Library for our photo contest awards ceremony. The event will include a display of contest submissions, refreshments, a few words from our judges, and the announcement of contest winners.
JUDGES
DEADLINE EXTENDED! Photo submissions, and other required documentation, are now due by October 18, 2016. For more information and to submit a photograph, please visit the Inequality Photo Contest webpage.
