Montecatini Terme (Tuscany), Italy, 28-31 July<\/p>\n
This 4-day International Conference is organized in collaboration with the International Urban Symposium-IUS<\/a>. It will bring together junior and senior scholars from around the world, who will present their work based on ethnographic knowledge on Forms of Inequality and the Legitimacy of Governance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Mainstream publications have recently addressed inequalities in health, income, education, labour market and competition, and the gaps between different parts of a country \u2013 often worsened by the effects of stereotype and stigma. While concern with inequalities stays at the forefront of today\u2019s policy debates, worldwide, equality of opportunities, of access to resources, to compete continues to be a utopia. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed pre-existing inequalities, often bringing out graphically the ramified ways in which they \u2013 individually or in combination \u2013 threaten the very fabric of the economic, social and political system. Our analysis needs to recognize the nature and interconnections between different forms of inequality and investigate the major forces combining to create inequalities.<\/p>\n With a keen eye on citizens\u2019 rights and their betrayal, the Conference aims to address variations of inequality across the world, the socio-economic, fiscal, legislative and political forces that determine them and the efficacy and legitimacy of the policies implemented to tackle them. In view of the fundamental distinction between equality and levelling argued comparatively in Urban Inequalities: Ethnographically Informed Reflections (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021), we invite scholars from the social sciences to participate in this event with ethnographically based papers to address key topics in this field.<\/p>\n Key Topics<\/strong>:<\/p>\n \u2022 Employment, Unemployment and Work, including the \u201cGig economy\u201d, digital work, self-employment, small entrepreneurs; Deadline for Paper Proposals:<\/u><\/span> Titles and 200-word Abstracts should be submitted by<\/strong> 13th <\/sup>March 2023<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n Deadline for Panel Proposals:<\/u><\/span> Proposals should include: 1) The Panel Title and 150-word Abstract; 2) At least 4 papers (including titles and 200-word Abstracts), and should be submitted<\/strong> by<\/strong> 13th <\/sup>March 2023.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Further Information and Registration Details<\/u> are available at: https:\/\/www.internationalurbansymposium.com\/events\/2023-2\/<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Montecatini Terme (Tuscany), Italy, 28-31 July CALL FOR PAPERS AND PANELS This 4-day International Conference is organized in collaboration with the International Urban Symposium-IUS.
