Final Call for contributions: Diversity and Welfare in the 21st Century
We have received a number of proposals but are extending the deadline to the 14th October - with decisions by the end of October - for contributions to Diversity and Welfare in the 21st Century
Issues of diversity and difference have been a key part of analysis within Social Policy for some time. Alongside 10 years of austerity, the 2010 Equality Act, Brexit and inequalities exposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the 21st century has also witnessed new patterns/models of welfare delivery and recognition of growing crises in areas such as hunger, health and housing.. At the core of these inequalities lie those with the least economic and social resilience, those who have faced discrimination and disadvantage.
Recently the Social Policy Association has drawn attention to a number of these issues, including through work commissioned into Race and Ethnicity in the teaching and delivery of the subject and the prominent inclusion of these topics in their teaching day conference, journals and at the SPA’s annual conference. As such this text seeks to build on this focus to develop a renewed call for analysis within social policy paying attention to issues of diversity in the 21st century context.
We are keen to encourage Early Career Academics to propose chapters on the following topics to be considered for inclusion in this text. Co-authorship of chapters with senior colleagues is also appreciated, but we are keen to support ECAs develop their publication experiences and promote their research.
Topics we are especially keen to include in the text are listed below, but we welcome suggestions for other areas not covered:
1. Ethnicity/BAME
2. Gender
3. Sexuality
4. Disability
5. Age
6. Class
7. Migration
Each chapter will be encouraged to follow a similar structure to their contributions so please talk to this in your proposal and keep in mind that chapters will be limited to 9,000 words including references/bibliography:
• Introduction
• Key definitions and debates
• Contemporary barriers and challenges
• Policy Example/illustration
• Future possibilities (reflecting on austerity and post-covid-19 period)
• Conclusion
• Bibliography
Proposals for contributions should be sent to Dr Lee Gregory by the 14th October 2020 to [log in to unmask] please cc Dr Steve Iafrati ([log in to unmask]) into the email. Decisions will be communicated to potential authors by the end of October 2020.
An approximate timeline for publication will be for contributors to deliver chapters: September 2021 with the aim of submitting the full transcript to the publisher (Policy Press) in early 2022
