Equality and Space<\/h1>\n

In 2021, Anthony Braithwaite, a black single parent of a disabled child, was declared \u201cintentionally homeless\u201d by Lewisham Council after refusing to accept relocation to another borough of London. John-Russell Barnes, a white working-class boy from Hastings, south-east England, told the BBC in 2020 that he and his friends were deterred from attending university by the perceived requirement to move far away from their hometowns. According to research conducted by the Forest Peoples Programme, the five countries that contain the majority of the world\u2019s tropical forests have used the need to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic as a justification for accelerating development plans, threatening the displacement of indigenous peoples.<\/p>\n

Since the publication of Elizabeth Anderson\u2019s 1999 article \u2018What is the Point of Equality?\u2019, contemporary egalitarian theory has taken a relational turn. Insofar as philosophers operating under this theoretical framework have explicitly addressed issues such as race, gender and sexuality, it has been reasonably successful, in Anderson\u2019s terms, at redirecting philosophical attention toward the \u201cdistinctly political aims of egalitarianism\u201d. Yet, when considered in light of the three cases raised above, contemporary egalitarian theory appears ill-equipped to provide analyses of and solutions to spatial inequalities.<\/p>\n

The Oxford University Press\u2019s 2015 edited collection on social equality contains no references to issues of gentrification or displacement, but does feature discussions about how spouses might choose their holiday locations, whether or not a \u201cwhite skin appreciation society\u201d would be a cause for concern in a society without a history of racial injustice, and whether or not a racist customer wrongs a shopkeeper by quietly shopping elsewhere without alerting anybody to their behaviour. While these may be interesting philosophical questions in their own right, their prominence indicates the extent to which, in Anderson\u2019s terms \u201crecent egalitarian writing seems strangely detached from existing egalitarian political movements.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is a pressing need to correct this error by providing avenues for the discussion of and production of theory about issues of equality and space.<\/p>\n
