COST Training School in Dubrovnik
The “Work-care policies, gender and social inequalities”
Training School took place from 16 April to 20 April. Leading international scholars
and early-career researchers came together in Dubrovnik and discussed questions
regarding sociology, social policy, gender studies and demography.
Participants benefited from lectures by renowned scholars
and in-depth feedback on their own research projects. A meaningful exchange
arose on conceptual and methodological challenges in researching the
interconnections between work-care policies, gender and social inequalities.
Two researchers from Bielefeld University contributed to
the discussion with their respective papers as well. Anna Karmann (Working Group
Martin Kroh) presented her research topic titled “The political economy of
welfare state transformation in the European Union – A typology of female
labour force participation in the context of retrenchment & expansion”. Alexandra Mellies (Working Group
Anja Abendroth) participated with her paper “The individual choice option
between time or money: A new path in work-care policies initiated by unions in
Germany”.
The international scholars who provided feedback and input
through their lectures are Rossella Ciccia (University
of Oxford, UK), Andrea
Doucet (Brock University, CA), Ann-Zofie Duvander
(Stockholm University, SE), Wim Van
Lancker (KU Leuven, BE), Sonja
Blum (Bielefeld University, DE), and Ivana Dobrotić
(University of Zagreb, HR).
The Training School was organized by Sustainability@Leave
COST Action, University of Zagreb and committee
members Ivana Dobrotić (WG5), Sonja Blum (WG2), Ruta Braziene (WG2) and Johanna
Lammi-Taskula (WG2).
The organizing committee would like to thank all
participants for the productive discussions and new input for further research.
