Conference announcement (please
circulate):<br>
<br>
"TOWARDS A BASIC INCOME SOCIETY"<br>
26-27 October 2007,
Centre for the Study of Social Justice (CSSJ), Oxford<br>
<br>
The past two
decades have witnessed a remarkable revival in both academic and policy circles
of the idea that every citizen should be granted an unconditional basic income
by right, without a means test or work requirement. Nevertheless, many questions
remain before this idea could be turned into a workable policy. Prominent
amongst these are questions about the very shape of a basic income society: what
would a society in which an unconditional basic income takes a central place
look like in terms of its broader policies and institutions? Relatedly, there
are important debates about the normative justification and political
feasibility of a basic income society. Should we move towards a basic income
society? What sort of political strategies need to be put in place to move from
the current welfare state to such a society? The conference will reflect on
these questions, charting both promising avenues and pitfalls in the current
debate. Participants from a diverse range of disciplines, including politics,
philosophy, policy sciences, and sociology, critically reflect on the need to
understand how questions pertaining to normative justification, institutional
design, and political trajectories inform one another, jointly shaping future
debates on universal welfare.<br>
