Ingrid Robeyns participates in International Panel on Social Progress
Prof. Ingrid Robeyns (Ethics of Institutions) has been appointed to the International Panel on Social Progress, a large international initiative to address global social challenges. She will be one of the Lead Authors of a chapter on 'Perspectives for social justice and wellbeing'.
Can we hope for a better society? Social scientists have never been so well equipped to provide an answer, thanks to the development of all the relevant disciplines since WWII. The International Panel on Social Progress (IPSP) will harness the competence of hundreds of experts about social issues and will deliver a report addressed to all social actors, movements, organizations, politicians and decision-makers, in order to provide them with the best expertise on questions that bear on social change. The Panel retains full independence from political parties and governments.
The new report, to be expected in 2017, will contain 22 chapters on a wide range of subjects, including inequality, globalisation, democracy, financial markets, gender, and media.
Robeyns' research is part of Utrecht University's strategic theme Institutions for Open Societies.
