Social Inclusion and Poverty Eradication: An International Workshop

Date: 

Friday, November 18, 2016, 9:00am to 12:30pm

Location: 

Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies, 27 Kirkland Street

As part of the Seminar on Social Exclusion and Inclusion, this event will bring together international experts in both poverty analysis and those whose work focuses on group discrimination, stigma, and exclusionary relations. Participants will assess the contribution of social inclusion policies, from affirmative action, inclusionary housing, and group rights, to basic income and social protection floors. They will consider how to interrupt processes that isolate and discriminate against particular groups, and the extent to which ending exclusionary treatment or guaranteeing access of dishonored or stigmatized groups may prevent poverty.
