Book launch of Hartley Dean's Sociality, Social Rights and Social Welfare
Wednesday 22 January 2025, 6.30pm-8.00pm, Shaw Library (6th Floor of the OLD Building)
Hosted by the Department of Social Policy
This event will formally launch Sociality, a revised and extended 10th anniversary edition of Social Rights and Social Welfare (a book first published in 2015). It introduces sociality as a central theme, making a new and radical contribution to thinking about social rights and human welfare. The subject matter is of interest to scholars, students and practitioners in the areas of social policy, welfare rights and welfare law, human rights, social development, community action, and anthropological philosophy.
The discussion, it is hoped, will explore such thinking in relation to current real-life social care issues, but also in relation to rights-based approaches in prevailing social struggles and welfare crises.
Speakers:
Hartley Dean, Emeritus Professor of Social Policy, LSE.
Tania Burchardt, Associate Director of CASE and Associate Professor of Social Policy, LSE.
Nikky Cato, freelance author, writer and community engagement consultant and former Chair/Trustee of Brixton Advice Centre.
Chair: Kitty Stewart, Professor of Social Policy and Associate Director of the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion (CASE).
