CALL FOR PAPERS & PANEL PROPOSALS
‘The Damage Done’
Inequality, Poverty and
Vulnerability
6th – 8th May 2014
Institute of Development
Studies, Brighton, UK
The
Institute of Development Studies is convening a major international
conference on the relationships between inequality, poverty, and vulnerability.
Inequality
has re-entered the international development debate with great energy. When
there are food banks in industrialised countries, the World Economic Forum
“bemoaning inequality” (the 2011 Davos meeting included an estimated 70
billionaires) and “Inequality for All” making a former US Secretary for Labour,
Robert Reich, a film star, something extraordinary is happening. The conference
provides a timely opportunity to evaluate the evidence on the ways in which
inequality affects development and particularly to establish what its role is
in the reproduction of poverty and the generation of vulnerability.
Call for
Papers
Contributions
are invited for free standing papers, or proposals for panels on the main
strands of the conference:
•
Assembling the most recent evidence on how inequality relates to poverty and
vulnerability.
•
Exploring the dynamics of inequalities and how they intersect across multiple
dimensions and multiple levels.
•
Considering what policy options are suitable for dealing with the interplay of
inequality, poverty and vulnerability
For further
details on possible themes for papers and panels please see below.
In order to
propose a Panel at this conference, please submit a proposal for a panel
by 27th September 2013 to povertyandinequality@ids.ac.uk.
The panel
proposal should consist of a title and short abstract for the panel session
(300 words), and where possible it should indicate a list of likely papers and
authors who have provisionally agreed to be included in the panel (no more than
four papers per panel).
The
deadline for abstracts for individual papers is 4th November 2013.
Please send your abstract (no more than 500 words), or any enquiries about this
event, to povertyandinequality@ids.ac.uk.
We will aim
