Despite evidence that these practices and ideas have persisted well into the post-socialist era, the manner in which they are embedded in the socio-economic, political, and moral fabric of contemporary societies has received only fragmentary attention from scholars to date. Economies of Favour after Socialism will gather scholars from across the Social Sciences to reflect on contexts and issues of contemporary \u2018economies of favour\u2019; reevaluate the applicability and relevance of established approaches; and throw light on under-researched areas of study such as religion and spirituality, moral economies, creativity, and resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Keynote lectures by Prof Alena Ledeneva, Prof Caroline Humphrey, and Prof Chris Hann.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Panel I<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Comparative Corruption<\/strong><br \/>\nChair: Prof Alena Ledeneva (UCL)<br \/>\nDr Dimitris Dalakoglou (Sussex)<br \/>\nDr Deema Kaneff (Birmingham)<br \/>\nDr Steffen Gross (Brandenburg)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Panel II<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Resistance, Creativity and Moral Personhood<\/strong><br \/>\nChair: Prof Michael Carrithers<br \/>\nDr Tomasz Rakowski (Warsaw)<br \/>\nDr Nicolette Makovicky (Oxford)<br \/>\nProf Charles Stafford (LSE)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Panel III<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Spirit(uality) of Exchange<\/strong><br \/>\nChair: Prof Caroline Humphrey (Cambridge)<br \/>\nDr David Henig (Kent)<br \/>\nDr Katherine Swancutt (Oxford)<br \/>\nDr Johan Rasangayam (Aberdeen)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Panel IV<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Informal economy: Interdisciplinary Perspectives<\/strong><br \/>\nChair: Prof Chris Hann (MPI, Halle)<br \/>\nDr Christopher Davis (Oxford)<br \/>\nDr Peter Rodgers (Leicester)<br \/>\nDr Marrkku Lonkila (Helsinki)<\/p>\n<p>Attendance is subject to a registration fee of \u00a335, which includes all materials, lunch, tea\/coffee on both days, and dinner on Friday the 20th.
