Deadline for submissions: 9.12.2019. We invite submissions for a workshop on intergenerational economic mobility over the long run. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers contributing to the growing literature on intergenerational mobility, in order to showcase new developments and provide a forum for discussion of future directions. We are especially interested in contributions that explore the role of gender and family formation in the process of intergenerational transmission of economic status. We also welcome submissions on any topic related to intergenerational mobility and inequality, in modern, historical, and/or cross-country perspective. Limited partial support for travel and accommodation for graduate students and junior faculty will be available.

Deadline for submissions: 15.1.2019. Social theorists from Max Weber to Jürgen Habermas have argued that power relations are among the defining characteristics of every society, along with culture and economic relations. The main theme of this conference, Technology and Power, seeks to interrogate the various roles technologies have played in the development of power relations in the past, in different parts of the world. Political power (local, state, and inter-state) is the most obvious of these, but relations of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, labour, age, and so on, also include elements of power. Technologies have instrumental, mediating, undermining, reinforcing, and constructive roles in all of these relations. Some technologies have been used by elites, others have served the relatively powerless.
