International symposium Life Course and Everyday Life of Older People Living in Poverty: Call for abstracts

We are collecting abstracts for the international symposium Life Course and Everyday Life of Older People Living in Poverty. The symposium will take place on 28-29 November 2024 at the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana. The main aim of the symposium is to discuss how the welfare state has defined, standardised and shaped the lives of older people living in poverty over time (from the Second World War to the present day), and how it has influenced the choices people have made over the course of their lives, culminating in poverty in old age.
More information is available here.

Please send the abstract, no longer than 300 words and up to 6 keywords by September 15 2024, to symposium@fsd.uni-lj.si. More info about abstracts and key speakers are here.

The symposium is organised within the framework of the project Life Course and Everyday Life of Older People Living in Poverty, coordinated by the Faculty of Social Work, University of Ljubljana, in partnership with the Faculty of Social Sciences, the Peace Institute and the Institute for Contemporary History, and financially supported by ARIS.
