Access Plus final conference

September 20 | 09:00

How do societies produce and deal with discrimination? International and intersectional comparative perspectives on labor-market and Welfare rights related discrimination

Conference

September 20th / 21th 2024

Starting from the observation that sociological research on discrimination is still rather scarce in Europe, we aim to explore, with this conference, how discrimination in the labour market and regarding access to social rights is produced, addressed, and fought against. Using an international comparative perspective, with Germany and France at the centre, we seek to explore diverse logics of discrimination, among others intersectional ones, that found inequalities for women and persons in (post-)migrant situations. Three thematic lines will organize the conference:

• Producing discrimination? Welfare states as co-producers of inequality – policies
• Addressing discrimination: Role of discourse, framing, categorizations rights and regulations
• Enforcing non-discrimination: The relevance of legal practices and tools

The conference program will be built on the results of the ANR-DFG research project Access Plus. The presentations will cover topics as diverse as the gender bias in women’s access to labor-market related social rights, struggle against discrimination in French unions, quantifying discrimination against women and immigrants employees, the ethno-racial imagination in the evaluation of young footballers in France and Germany, the access to social rights in French neighborhood centers, etc.
