Publics and Practices Seminar with Prof Peter Dwyer (University of York)
Abstract:
This seminar will define welfare conditionality and briefly trace its recent development and intensification in the UK. Interim findings from the ongoing ESRC funded Welfare conditionality: sanctions support and behaviour change project will then be presented. Emergent themes and issues in relation to both Universal Credit claimants and migrants who are subject to conditional welfare benefits will be considered.
About Peter Dwyer:
Professor Peter Dwyer moved to York in July 2013 having previously held senior posts at Nottingham Trent University and the universities of Leeds and Salford. His research interests come together around two main themes. First, a critical engagement with the notion of social citizenship, especially in relation to welfare rights and responsibilities and social inclusion/exclusion and second, the impact of international migration on welfare states and migrants' rights. He currently lead a major five year ESRC funded project on welfare conditionality which brings together teams of researchers working in six English and Scottish Universities i.e. University of York, University of Salford, University of Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam University, Heriot-Watt University and the University of Glasgow. Central to this work is a desire to inform policy and practice through the establishment of an original and comprehensive evidence base on the efficacy and ethicality of conditionality across a range of social policy fields and diverse groups of welfare service users. he has also recently completed an EC funded project a project exploring Roma inclusion in 9 EU Member States. He is Director of Research in the Department of Social Policy and Social work University of York, England, UK.
