Human Capital and Economic Opportunity: A Global Working Group

Harry Brighouse

University of Wisconsin, Madison
Professor of Philosophy

I have taught at University of Wisconsin, Madison since 1992, and spent a brief period of 2000-2002 working at the Institute of Education at the University of London. My main expertise are in political philosophy, and in philosophy as it relates to educational policy and practice, and have an independent interest in education policy. My books include School Choice and Social Justice (Oxford 2000), On Education (Routledge, 2005), Measuring Justice, co-edited with Ingrid Robeyns (Cambridge 2010) and the forthcoming Family Values (Princeton, 2012 expected) co-authored with Adam Swift. I am a senior project advisor for the Spencer Foundation and, wit Michael McPherson, co-direct the Spencer Initiative on Philosophy in Educational Policy and Practice. I contribute regularly to the blog CrookedTimber.
