DESCRIPTION:(En anglais seulement) The Centre for Human Rights & legal Plur
 alism presents: a talk With Hoi Kong\n\nAbout the talk \n\nHow should a co
 nstitutional order respond to deep inequality?  In some constitutional ord
 ers\, the pervasiveness of inequality is at the root of complex debates ab
 out equality rights\, but does not pose an existential risk to the polity.
    By contrast\, in other polities\, inequality is so pervasive that the e
 xisting constitutional order can no longer be considered legitimate.  In t
 hese circumstances\, the task of fashioning a new order can give rise to c
 omplex issues of constitutional design.  Drawing on arguments that Ron Lev
 y\, Ian O’Flynn and I set out in Deliberative Peace Referendums (Oxford Un
 iversity Press\, 2021)\, I will argue that the theory of deliberative cons
 titutionalism provides guidance to constitutional designers and counsels r
 esistance to populist impulses that arise when the very legitimacy of a co
 nstitutional order is questioned. \n\nAbout the speaker \n\nProfessor Hoi 
 Kong is the inaugural holder of The Rt. Hon. Beverley McLachlin\, P.C.\, U
 BC Professorship in Constitutional Law\, which he assumed in 2018.  He is
