SSA Congress 2013: Inequality and Integration in Times of Crisis (June 26 – 28, 2013)

Congress of the Swiss Sociological Association June 26 – 28, 2013 at the University of Bern
Inequality and Integration in Times of Crisis

Since Karl Marx first described the enormous social inequalities and their potential for social change at the beginning of industrialization in the 19th century, the origins, extent, and consequences of social inequality, as well the level of inequality which a society is willing to tolerate, have been major themes in sociology. Our discipline has taken on the theme of inequality in multiple areas ranging from research on unequal educational and labor market opportunities, unequal income distributions, gender and health inequality, and inequality in life expectancy, to mention only a few. There are innumerable national and international conferences devoted to these themes. Do we need yet another one? Is inequality still a problem in our society?

The answer to this question is undoubtedly yes. In particular, the economic crisis at the start of the 21st century underlines the fact that the theme of inequality has not lost its relevance. Above all, the European debt crisis inclines us to suspect that social inequality is growing. In comparison with economic boom times, almost all the European countries feel the pressure of stabilizing their economies and cutting back on public expenditures. This will also impact redistributional policies to reduce inequality and bring about new challenges for integration policies addressing the emerging disparities. At the same time as inequalities within European societies are exacerbated, disparities between states are also rising, which will likely have adverse effects on European unification, not to mention creating new challenges for Switzerland as well.

The European debt crisis came at a point in time when global environmental and demographic problems worsened simultaneously – the aging of industrialized countries and population explosion in developing countries. The inequality effects of climate change and the unequal distribution of population growth will lead to an increase in migration and elevate the immigration pressure on the European Union and Switzerland. For this reason, Switzerland, as well as the other European countries, grapple with questions of managing migration and integration.

Inequalities – as problematic they may be – are also in some sense an opportunity. They increase the diversity of society and can bring about new ideas, innovation, and growth. Our desire and ability for social integration depends, above all, on the ultimate balance between these advantages and disadvantages. Within the framework of the various foci of the research committees, the conference will concentrate on the opportunities as well as the risks associated with these social changes.

Call for Papers: Paradoxes and tensions in HRM

Call for papers for a workshop on:

Paradoxes and tensions in HRM:
Exploring the field and moving ahead
February 14-15 2013; University of Innsbruck/Austria

Currently, we observe a rising interest of HRM scholars in understanding the nature of tensions in the management of workforce. While the terms duality, paradox, ambiguity and tension are widely used in contemporary HRM research, the underlying concepts and theoretical assumptions are rarely explored systematically. In this workshop we seek to explore recent developments in studying tensions in HRM and theoretical perspectives that help to increase our understanding of tensions, their origin and dynamics in HRM, and how they can be dealt with. Deadline for abstract submission is November 15, 2013.

Call for Papers and Contributions: Kiel Young Researcher Conference 2012 – Did you know that your research is on Green Growth?

At the Kiel Institute for the World Economy
November 15-16 2012

This young researcher conference invites Postdocs and PhD students to challenge the concept of Green Growth from different angles. There is little specific research on this new buzzword, while many studies indirectly contribute to this topic.

Thus, we ask young researchers to discuss Green Growth against their background while looking beyond the rim of their disciplines and connect with other researchers.

We welcome submissions from relevant fields such as environmental sciences, political science, natural sciences and engineering, sociology, law, ethics, or economics. The focus of the conference is on interdisciplinary cooperation in research on Green Growth.
