What is the role of social protection in this shifting and uncertain global context? How can we reimagine this policy area?

To provide a much-needed platform for critical reflection and inspiring conversation, the Centre for Social Protection at IDS is organising an international conference from 12 to 14 September 2023 in Brighton:  ‘Reimagining Social Protection at a Time of Global Uncertainty’. 

This conference will offer a forum for researchers and critical thinkers to discuss and debate the past, present and future of social protection policy and provision, especially, but not only in, the Global South.

The Call for Papers is now open! We invite proposals on the themes of the politics of social protection, social protection in crisis settings, inclusive social protection, and programme and system innovation.

The full call can be downloaded here. The deadline is 15 January 2023. Submissions should be sent to CSPconference@ids.ac.uk
