Dear list member,
I am writing to invite you to an event that will officially launch a
major extension to the Masters Programme in Sociological Studies. Over
the last year we have introduced two new masters courses, MA in Global
Social Policy led by Professor Bob Deacon; and MA in International
Childhood Studies led by Professor Adrian James and Professor Allison James.
Dominic Richardson, Policy Analyst (Child Well-Being) from the OECD in
Paris will deliver a keynote address entitled 'International
Organisations and Child Centred Social Policy: Lessons for, and from the
UK', on Monday 6 April 2009, 5:00 - 7:00pm in the ICOSS building Sheffield..
Dominic will talk about OECD and UNICEF work on child centred social policy,
score cards, ranking countries and lesson learning across OECD borders, and how
this influences government policies.
The address will be followed by a drinks reception.
We are expecting keen interest and demand for this and so admittance
will be by ticket to allow us to cater appropriately. If you would like
to attend, we would be grateful if you could RSVP to Janine Birch,
email: [log in to unmask], ext 26422.
