Social Policy Association Annual Conference 2010 - Social Policy in Times of
Change
5-7 July 2010, University of Lincoln, UK
The Social Policy Association’s Annual Conference will be held at the
University of Lincoln from 5-7 July 2010. The plenary speakers for this
year’s event will be Professor Peter Dreier (Occidental College, Los
Angeles), Professor Ruth Lister (Loughborough University), and Dr Branko
Milanovic (World Bank).
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 2010, 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 400 words indicating the appropriate stream
should be submitted as an email attachment to [log in to unmask]
Proposals for symposia should consist of a 200 word outline of the aims of
the symposium together with the relevant abstracts. Proposals will be
reviewed by a Programme Committee prior to acceptance. The closing date for
the submission of abstracts and proposals is Friday 12 February 2010. Full
papers must be submitted in pdf form by 18 June 2010. All proposals will be
reviewed by a small team before approval.
