Abstract submissions close Monday 29 April 2019.
The 2019 Australian Social Policy Conference (ASPC) will be held at UNSW Sydney from Monday 9 September to Wednesday 11 September 2019. The conference presents work from researchers, teachers, student and practitioners of social policy.
Discussion will be organised around themes that cover a wide range of social policy topics, including:
- Poverty, welfare and social inequality
- Communities, families and children
- Digital technologies and social policy
- Environment and social policy
- Disability and rights
- Human services
- Ageing
- Health and social policy
- Indigenous peoples
- Chinese social policy
- Open strand
Contributed papers can:
- report the results of research
- discuss conceptual approaches to contemporary social policy
- describe work in progress, or
- raise issues for debate.
Potential presenters are asked to submit an abstract of up to 250 words for consideration, nominating a theme from the list above. Criteria for selection will include academic quality, originality, accessibility, and relevance to current debates in social policy. Where papers are based on empirical research, preference will be given to abstracts showing evidence of research results. ASPC welcomes papers presenting all points of view.
As in past years, the conference will include a special stream on Chinese social policy. This includes studies of the Chinese diaspora in other countries (including Australia). All sessions will be conducted in English.
International contributions are particularly encouraged. The refereeing process for these submissions will be expedited to ensure that potential presenters have sufficient notice.
ASPC is also inviting proposals for special sessions, including groups of related papers within the contributed paper streams. Please send proposals to [email protected]
