I International Conference RILESS-EMES : Solidarity economy and social enterprises - V Symposium on Inequality, Rights and Public Policy

Presentation

This event is a biannual initiative of the Post-Graduate Program in Social Sciences of Unisinos (PPGCS). Its central theme is social inequality and the search for its solutions. In this, the 5th edition of the event, we will incorporate an element of international engagement with the PPGCS, related to alternative economies and their actors and actions in civil society and the public sphere, particularly regarding the question of Social and Solidarity Economies. This field of studies unites two international networks, RILESS and EMES, which bring thinkers of international import, specialists, and academics from a number of countries to the event.

The I International RILESS-EMES Conference will join the V symposium, constituting a privileged moment of interaction, bringing together researchers, students, and professionals from diverse areas, to present work and take part in debates about new initiatives and social alternatives for the combat of inequality, the expansion of human rights, economic organization, and public policy innovation. Presentations by recognized intellectuals, such as Ladislau Dowbor (Brazil), Jean-Louis Laville (France), and José Luis Coraggio (Argentina), as well as researchers of note in this event’s themes, will make up the program. Working groups, organized around six thematic areas, are open for presentations in Portuguese, Spanish, and English.

• Professors, researchers, and academics from Brazilian and foreign institutions.
• Activists, intellectuals, students, and others interested in themes of inequality and social and economic alternatives.
