Dear Colleagues,
From 29-31 August 2002 the EUROPEAN SOCIAL POLICY
RESEARCH NETWORK of the European Sociological Association
will hold its first Annual Conference at Tilburg University, the
Netherlands, under the general theme of:
SOCIAL VALUES, SOCIAL POLICIES
NORMATIVE FOUNDATIONS OF CHANGING SOCIAL POLICIES IN
EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
The conference focuses at the cultural factor in social policy
change: at the interrelations between changing norms, values and
attitudes among policy-makers, administrators, (potential)
consumers of benefits and services, and changes in
social policies.
Sessions will include e.g:
- The role of religion and the churches
- Public attitudes and social policies
- Changing definitions of need and risk
- Equity, solidarity and reciprocity
- Ethics of work and care
- Individual vs. collective responsibility
- The legal protection of social rights
- The history of social policy before 1900
...but others will be added.
Colleagues who want to present a PAPER are invited to send a title
and short abstract to the organiser (before 1 May 2002) or to fill
out the registration form at the conference's website.
Colleagues who would want to organise a SESSION on a specific
theme and take responsibility for arranging three papers within it,
are invited to send a title and short outline to the organiser (before
1 January 2002).
