Dear all,
We are delighted to announce the full programme for the 2024 edition of the Virtual ESPAnet Workshop.
We received a significant number of high-quality paper proposals, and we tried to put together a varied and balanced programme with regard to topics and gender. We are excited to have such an excellent line-up of presenters and discussants.
We are launching this year’s workshop with a book session on “How the Radical Right Has Changed Capitalism and Welfare in Europe and the USA” (OUP). This event will take place on February 29 at 4pm (CET), following which we will continue with our usual format of paper presentations on a monthly basis.
The paper and the Zoom link for each upcoming event are distributed one week in advance via this mailing list. Please get in touch to join the mailing list.
Best wishes,
