In this lecture Michèle Lamont addresses the power of recognition for understanding and addressing the global contemporary crisis of inequality. Discussing the key ideas from her recent book, Seeing Others: How Recognition Works and How it Can Heal a Divided World, she will talk about how she is developing these through international collaborative research that is asking whether and how American and British young workers in the ‘two Manchesters’ are searching for recognition through politics; how indigenous people in Canada and Micronesia are seeking recognition through environmental justice and jobs; and what the challenges of seeking recognition are where it seems impossible to obtain.
