Joint NordWel and

State, Society

Perspectives on
Welfare State Development
Odense, 15-20
August 2010
NCoE NordWel and NCoE REASSESS in cooperation with the
Centre for Welfare State Research, University of Southern Denmark, organize an
international summer school in Odense, 15-20 August 2010.
Welfare states can be studied from a number of theoretical
and methodological approaches, with various chronological perspectives and with
a focus on different empirical phenomena. The aim of the summer school is to
stimulate discussions across disciplines and thereby foster innovative
cross-disciplinary and multi-perspective research. To this purpose the Summer
School brings together Ph.D. students and well-established scholars in
scientific exchanges.
Distinguished international scholars lecture in thematic
sessions on: Religion & the Welfare State, Immigration & the
Welfare State, The Service Sector in the Welfare State, as well as Agency
& Welfare State Development.
The list of senior scholars, who have confirmed their
participation, includes Bernhard Ebbinghaus (University of Mannheim), Bruno
Palier (Sciences Po, Paris), Christoph Conrad (University of Geneva), Gerhard
Ritter (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München), Gøsta Esping-Andersen
(University Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona), Julia Lynch (University of Pennsylvania),
Joakim Palme (Institute for Future Studies, Stockholm & Uppsala
University), Marta Szebehely (Stockholm University), Noel Whiteside (University
of Warwick), Olli Kangas (Kela, Helsinki), Philip Manow (University of
Konstanz), Wim van Oorschot (Tilburg University), Bjørn Hvinden (Nova, Oslo),
Pauli Kettunen (University of Helsinki), Pirjo Markkola (Jyväskylä University),
Cathie Jo Martin (Boston University), Christine Trampusch (Universität
Bern) as well as Patrick Emmenegger, Klaus Petersen and Jon Kvist (all
University of Southern Denmark, Odense).
We invite Ph.D. students from different disciplinary
backgrounds both within and outside the Nordic countries to participate in
discussing the development of the welfare state, its preconditions, present
status and how we ought to study it. Ph.D. Students present their papers in
parallel sessions and get feedback from senior scholars and junior colleagues.
We welcome paper proposals by Ph.D. students on the themes
of the thematic sessions as well as on welfare and the welfare state more
generally. Papers are selected on basis of their quality. Papers can be written
from a broad historical or contemporary perspective and from disciplines such
as sociology, history, social policy, political science, and political
philosophy.
Course fee
The Course fee is 100 Euros. Accommodation is financed by
NCoE NordWel and NCoE REASSESS. It is possible to apply for a travel grant
after confirmation of acceptance.
How to apply
Ph.D. students interested in participating in the summer
school should send an abstract (½ page) for a paper proposal and a short
