Call for papers: stream “Young People and Social Policy in Europe: New Risks and Emerging Challenges”, ESPAnet Conference 2012 (21.02.2012)
On the 6-8th September 2012 the University of Edinburgh will host the 10th Anniversary Conference of the creation of ESPAnet, the European Social Policy Analysis Network.
A new stream on “Young People and Social Policy in Europe: New Risks and Emerging Challenges” will explore the many ways that social policy supports young people as they negotiate major life course-stage transitions through adolescence and into adulthood. It will explore the specific needs of young people and associated claims on the policy and service infrastructure. Social policy problems concerning young people such as inequalities, social exclusion and labour market insecurity are of growing interest in the European social policy community and have invited interest at previous ESPAnet conferences. Social policy is an interdisciplinary field of study and we welcome abstract submissions from different disciplinary areas.
The deadline for sending abstracts is 9 March 2012.
