Job: Assistant professorship welfare state history (Univ. of Southern Denmark) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ University of Southern Denmark, Odense, 01.02.2014 Bewerbungsschluss: 15.11.2013 Assistant Professorship in welfare state history - NICE Welfare NICE Welfare-Narratives, Indicators and Concepts in Changing European Welfare Societies The University of Southern Denmark invites applications for a number of positions within the project NICE Welfare, with appointment from February 15, 2014, including an Assistant Professorship in welfare state history. NICE Welfare is a newly established interdisciplinary research project that seeks to examine connections between welfare concepts, narratives and indicators. The common point of departure is the perceived mismatch between the principal social narratives, welfare concepts and the welfare indicators used. A number of radical social changes, such as globalization, individualization, immigration, demographic changes, etc., mean that there is a need for rethinking what the good life is, the relationship between state and society as well as between citizenship and participation. The aim is to contribute to creating a more qualified research basis for solving the major social challenges that face us. This is done through empirical examinations of the relationships between narratives, concepts, indicators and social experiences in a multi-disciplinary setting, addressing the same issues from a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches. NICE Welfare is part of the University of Southern Denmarks strategic research plan SDU 2020.
