NordWel Symposium: Intervention and Deprivation: Long-Run
Perspectives on Policy and Poverty
Helsinki 08.06.2011 klo 13:15 - 09.06.2011 klo 15:15

Hyvinvointivaltiotutkimuksen pohjoismainen huippuyksikkö The Nordic
Welfare State – Historical Foundations and Future Challenges
(NordWel) järjestää 8.-9.6. Helsingin yliopistolla (Päärakennus,
Auditorio XIII 8.6. klo 13.15-17.00 ja 9.6. klo 13.15-15.15)
kansainvälisen tieteellisen symposiumin otsikolla Intervention and
Deprivation: Long-Run Perspectives on Policy and Poverty.

Monitieteinen tapahtuma kokoaa yhteen 15 koti- ja ulkomaista tutkijaa
keskustelemaan köyhyyden ja hyvinvointipolitiikan historiasta.
Yleisölle avoimen tapahtuman aiheita ovat etnisyys ja köyhyys,
kaupunkien köyhyyspolitiikka, lapset, hyvinvointi ja kehitys, sekä
nälänhädät ja kansainvälinen avustustoiminta. Kvantitatiivisia ja
kvalitatiivisia lähestymistapoja kokoava symposium pyrkii rakentamaan
uusia yhteyksiä empiirisen köyhyystutkimuksen, hyvinvointipolitiikan
analyysin ja kehitystutkimuksen välille sekä luomaan uusia kontakteja
tutkijoiden kesken. 

The Nordic Centre of Excellence The Nordic Welfare State – Historical
Foundations and Future Challenges (NordWel) is organizing an
international symposium entitled Intervention and Deprivation:
Long-Run Perspectives on Policy and Poverty at the University of
Helsinki on June 8th-9th (Main Building, Auditorium XIII, 8.6. at
13.15-17.00 and 9.6. at 13.15-15.15). 

The multidisciplinary event assembles 15 domestic and international
researchers to discuss the history of poverty and welfare policy. The
themes of the open event include ethnicity and poverty, urban poverty
policies, children, welfare and development, and historical famines
and international assistance. The symposium brings together
qualitative and quantitative approaches in an effort to bridge
empirical research on poverty, the analysis of the politics of
welfare and poverty, and development research. Programme attached.
