Con­fer­ence web­site: https://www.poverty-conference.org/

The Cen­tre for Ethics and Pover­ty Research, Uni­ver­si­ty of Salzburg, invites the sub­mis­sion of pro­pos­als for sin­gle papers, the­mat­ic pan­els (2, 4 or 6 papers), and round­table ses­sions (3–5 dis­cus­sants plus 1 chair) in all areas of pover­ty research but spe­cial atten­tion will be giv­en to those con­cerned with the focus theme of health and poverty.

Health and pover­ty are inter­re­lat­ed in both rich and poor coun­tries: pover­ty wors­ens the sub­jec­tive health sta­tus and lead­ing to a range of dis­eases and devel­op­men­tal dis­or­ders; peo­ple with health prob­lems and dis­abil­i­ties are more often poor and social­ly exclud­ed than the rest of the pop­u­la­tion. In addi­tion to the search for causal links between pover­ty and health at the local and glob­al lev­els, oth­er research ques­tions arise, some of which should be men­tioned here as exam­ples: What influ­ence does pover­ty have on the sub­jec­tive and objec­tive state of health; how is this expe­ri­enced and coped with by peo­ple in pover­ty? How can effec­tive and ade­quate health care be ensured for poor peo­ple; which groups of the pop­u­la­tion are par­tic­u­lar­ly con­front­ed with chal­lenges and dif­fi­cult to reach? What role do age, gen­der, sex­u­al ori­en­ta­tion, cul­tur­al or eth­nic iden­ti­ty or social sta­tus play in the con­text of pover­ty and health?

This con­fer­ence aims to bring togeth­er researchers and schol­ars from dif­fer­ent dis­ci­plines, approach­es, back­grounds and expe­ri­ences work­ing on the com­plex and man­i­fold rela­tion of health and pover­ty. Papers explor­ing nor­ma­tive issues of (social and glob­al) jus­tice, human rights or ethics in rela­tion to health and pover­ty are wel­comed. Schol­ars work­ing in the glob­al south are par­tic­u­lar­ly encour­aged to apply.

The reg­is­tra­tion fee for par­tic­i­pants is 100€ and cov­ers the con­fer­ence fold­er, a guid­ed city tour on Fri­day, coffe breaks, two lunch snacks and the con­fer­ence din­ner on Thurs­day. Stu­dents as well as par­ticpi­ants from coun­tries clas­si­fied as low-income or low­er-mid­dle income economies by the World Bank pay a sub­si­dized fee of 75€.
