Social Exclusion in Comparative Perspective: Migration, Policy, and Power

Thursday, 19 July 2018: 10:30-12:20
Location: 715A (MTCC SOUTH BUILDING)
RC19 Sociology of Poverty, Social Welfare and Social Policy (host committee)

Language: English

Issues of social exclusion are intimately related to concepts of justice and power. In an era of ascendant neoliberalism some countries are making efforts to promote universalism. However, this universalism is often extended to nationals and only sometimes to residents and other migrants. This session welcomes contributions that examine how social exclusion is manifested and received: both at the policy and the group and individual levels, across methodological approaches. In doing so, this session seeks to draw attention to the possibly contradictory forces of neoliberalism and universalism and how they are related, conceptually and substantively, to questions of justice and power in an increasingly globalizing world.
