We are happy to be able to present prominent keynote speakers within the field of contemporary sociology. Professor Mike Savage from London School of Economics (LSE) will give a talk on ”Escalating inequality & global geo-politics”. Savage has a long-standing interest in analysing social stratification and inequality and he has been an influential figure in the revival of the sociology of social class in recent decades in Europe.
Professor Guy Standing of SOAS University of London will be talking about “Responding to Rentier Capitalism: A Precariat Charter”. Standing has written and edited books on contemporary labour market policies and is known for his work on the so-called precariat.
Further, we have the pleasure of presenting Dr. Prerna Singh, Mahatma Gandhi Associate Professor of Politics and International Studies, Department of Political Science, Watson Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs, Brown University. She is the author of the award-winning book How Solidarity Works for Welfare: Subnationalism and Social Development in India (2015, Cambridge University Press). Her speech is titled: ”Nationalism and Welfare”.
The summer conference will be held in the very centre of the city of Aalborg in Denmark, which has an international airport and good opportunities for leisure and a night out.
We hope to see you in August!
