FISS
2011 Conference – Call for Papers
Growth,
Social Protection and Inequality
8-10
June 2011 – Sigtuna, Sweden
The
18th International Research Seminar of the Foundation for
International Studies on Social Security (FISS) will be
devoted to the interplay between economic growth, social
protection and (changes in) inequalities. FISS is particularly
interested in the interrelation between growth and employment,
new social policies and social security, inequalities and
poverty. Despite growth of average income and of employment
in many countries and despite new policies that are focused
on investment and addressing equalities, inequality and
poverty have not declined substantially. What does this
imply about the changing role of social security? Under
what conditions do the poor benefit from growth of income
and jobs and can best practices be discerned? Are economic
growth and employment the most important determinants of
poverty and inequality and what is the role of social redistribution,
activation policies and social security?
Confirmed
keynote speakers are :
·
Lane Kenworthy (Professor of Sociology and Political Science
– University of Arizona)
·
Martin Ravallion (Director of the Development research Group
of the World Bank)
FISS
welcomes papers that address these and other relevant questions.
Closing date for submissions is 28th January 2011. More
information is available at : http://www.fiss-socialsecurity.org.uk/metadot/index.pl?id=23098&isa=Category&op=show

Call

Proposals
are invited for papers on any aspect of social policy. We
particularly encourage proposals reflecting high quality
research or which explore questions of social policy in
practice or the teaching of social policy. In addition to
standard papers, we are also calling for proposals for symposia,
with three or four abstracts linked to a particular theme.
Symposia will potentially allow participants to engage more
deeply with their special interests.
For
papers, abstracts of up to a maximum of 400 words should
be submitted as a Word or rich text format email attachment
to SPA2011@lincoln.ac.uk. Proposals for symposia should
consist of a 200 word outline of the aims of the symposium
together with contributors’ abstracts. Proposals will
be reviewed by a Programme Committee prior to acceptance.
The closing date for the submission of abstracts and proposals
is Friday 25 February 2011. Full papers must be submitted
in pdf form by 10 June 2011.
Postgraduates
are also invited to attend the conference. Options for participation
include: a presentation in a regular conference stream;
a presentation in a session closed to postgraduates only;
and show-casing your research in a poster presentation.
You can also join forces with your peers and submit a proposal
for a symposium, with three or four abstracts linked to
a particular theme. Please follow guidelines for submission
as outlined above. On your submission, it is essential that
you record your status as a postgraduate and mark your chosen
option as: ‘Presentation’; ‘Symposium’;
‘Postgraduate presentation’; or ‘Poster’.
