The EVENT
From Thursday, August 20th to Saturday August 22nd, the International Sociological Association's Research Committee on Poverty, Social Welfare and Social Policy (RC19) will hold its annual academic conference in Montreal, Canada. This event is organized by the Canada Research Chair on Citizenship and Governance of the Université de Montréal, with an organising committee drawn from
across UdeM and Carleton University. RC19’s annual conference brings together leading international scholars in the field of comparative welfare state studies covering all parts of the globe and encompassing a wide range of disciplines including sociology, social
policy and political science. Following past practice, RC19 2009 will include both sessions responding to the conference theme andothers reporting on the ongoing research projects of RC19 members. Again as in the past, events providing mentoring opportunities for young scholars will be an integral part of the
program.
