CIT
Seminar Series: A Citizen's Income for All in the UK,
January - March 2009
In
early 2009 the Citizen's Income Trust is planning a series
of academic seminars throughout the UK, in close collaboration
with six major universities. The series aims to draw attention
to Citizen's Income as a genuine, universal alternative
for the current selective, work and means-tested approach
to welfare policy in Britain.
From
January through to March 2009, leading academics in the
fields of politics, philosophy and social policy will discuss
the prospects of introducing a Citizens' Income for each
UK citizen in the Post-Blair era. Confirmed participants
include Prof. Bill Jordan (University of Plymouth), Dr.
Tony Fitzpatrick (University of Nottingham), Dr. Louise
Haagh (University of York), Prof. Ruth Lister (Loughborough
University), Prof. Guy Standing (University of Bath) and
Dr. Stuart White (University of Oxford).
The
seminars will be hosted by the Department of Politics, Philosophy
and International Affairs (Queen's University Belfast),
the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics (University
of Brighton), the Centre for Social Ethics (University of
Newport, Wales), the International Centre for Public and
Social Policy (University of Nottingham), the Department
of Politics (University of York), and the Department of
Politics (University of Reading). All seminars will be open
to the general public.
This
website will be updated shortly; please check regularly
