Equal-L: Basic Income Conference Call for Papers 2008.

---------------------------------
(Email edited to just include main body)
---------------------------------

Just a reminder that proposals for papers or presentations for the Basic
Income Earth Network (BIEN) congress on 20-21 June should be submitted
by 15 February - call for papers is attached and is also available at

www.basicincomeireland.com

It would be great to use this opportunity for locally-based researchers and
activists to present their ideas about basic income to a wider, international
audience and to engage in debates over whether basic income is a
desirable policy for Ireland. Both academic papers and other presentations
are welcome, and we are particularly keen for civil society organisations to
participate.

Many people in Ireland are familiar with the long-standing advocacy for
basic income from CORI. What you may not be so familiar with are how the
issues are being approached in other countries. So even if you do not wish
to present a paper or presentation, I would encourage you to come to the
congress to get a sense of the world-wide debate.

If you want to know more about basic income, a good place to start is the
BIEN website at www.basicincome.org
