The organisers of the 2005 ESPAnet annual conference are inviting
expressions of interest from colleagues willing to act as stream convenors.
Stream convenors are responsible for one or more sessions organised within a
stream (the total number of sessions will depend on the number of papers
submitted). They participate in the selection process of papers submitted
for presentation within their stream, and chair their respective session(s).
Streams can be organised within any sub-area of social policy research, but
in order to guarantee an even coverage of the field, we will initially try
to cover the themes mentioned in the list below. Stream themes can either be
general, aiming to cover an entire topic, or more specific, pointing to
particular aspects or approaches. They should in any case be able to appeal
to a wide number of researchers. We anticipate organising between 15 and 20
streams.
Stream topics :
1. European social policy
2. Comparative methodology
3. Disability
4. Welfare reform
5. Immigration and social policy
6. The territorial dimension of social policies
7. Pension reform
8. Labour market policy
9. The third sector
10. Gender equality and social policy
11. Public Opinion and Social Policy
12. Health care systems
13. Family change and social policy
14. Social Capital and the Welfare State
15. Social exclusion, poverty and the welfare state
16. - 20. Open sessions
An expression of interest must include:
1. A stream title
2. A short description of the topic, including a description of the
types of papers that are expected (max 200 words).
3. Full contact details of the stream convenor
