Over the last few decades, social welfare policies have moved in a more conservative direction. Taking these changes into account, three prominent scholars will discuss whether there has been a fundamental transformation of poverty governance in the U.S. Their point of reference will be the recently published book, Disciplining the Poor: Neoliberal Paternalism and the Persistent Power of Race (Chicago, 2011), by Joe Soss, Richard C. Fording and Sanford F. Schram. The panelists will make presentations, respond to each other’s comments, and take questions from the audience during an extended question period.
