12th Braga Meetings on Ethics and Political Philosophy
Panel on Unconditional Basic Income Experiments
June 27th and 28th, 2022
University of Minho, Braga, Portugal
Organizer: Centre for Ethics, Politics & Society (University of Minho)
On the 27th and 28th the 12th Braga Meetings on Ethics and Political Philosophy will take place in Braga. The Call for Papers includes a Panel on "The Potential Impacts of Unconditional Basic Income, and what Experiments can tell us" .
The participants in this panel will include Philippe Van Parijs, Guy Standing, Karl Widerquist and Jamie Cooke.
This panel invites contributors to answer questions related to experimentation with UBI, and its potential impacts: What, if any, can experiments tell us about the potential impacts of UBI if implemented at a nation-wide level? What type of experiments should we consider when discussing the impacts of UBI: pilots, guaranteed income experiments, cash grants in general, or none? What might be the potential ethical downsides of engaging with social experiments? We are also particularly interested in contributions aiming at discussing the impacts of UBI in the context of a green economy and/or ecological transition and whether experiments are adequate tools to help us answer some of our doubts on this matter.
Also, this panel is part of a broader project run by CEPS about Unconditional Basic Income Experiments. The project, led by Roberto Merrill, includes a broad list of associate researchers from all over the world. Several workshops have been organized focusing on whether UBI experiments are necessary for implementing a UBI, or on the potential resources necessary to fund a UBI, to name a few. Through the project, a Special Issue co-edited by Roberto Merrill and Catarina Neves on UBI experiments was also published on Basic Income Studies, and a book on UBI experiments published by Palgrave Macmillan. You can have a look at the project’s web page in order to get an idea of the main and upcoming events of the project, and the topics that have been discussed.
If you want to apply, please submit an abstract, of 400-500 words along with five keywords, of your paper prepared for peer review by 5 April 2022. We will respond by 28 April 2022. All proposals must be submitted online through our website using the Abstract submission Form.
