Equal-L: 12th World Congress on Basic Income

The UCD School of Social Justice is co-sponsoring the 12th World
Congress on Basic Income, to be held at UCD on June 20-21, 2008. For
details and the call for papers, please visit

A copy of the call for papers is also attached to this email.

If you would like to contact me with any queries(john.baker@ucd.ie), please feel free to do so.

We very much hope that egalitarians from Ireland and abroad will take part
in the Congress and address themselves to the possible role of basic
income in promoting equality. We would particularly encourage civil society
organisations and activists to participate; contributions do not necessarily
have to be in the form of academic papers, as round tables and workshops
are also encouraged. Critical analyses of basic income are as welcome as
positive ones.

Details of a one-day lead-in conference on June 19, organised by CORI and
specifically concerned with the prospects of basic income in Ireland, will
also be circulated shortly.
