Austerity:  Economic, Political, and Social Perspectives

 
Friday, May 30th Kemmy Business School, UL KBG-16
 

Austerity is not simply an economic phenomenon—societies experience it in different ways, socially, politically, and geographically. The aim of this event is to bring leading thinkers to probe the complex effects of austerity on the European economies forced to experience it by the global economic crisis. The event will be live-streamed through the INET and YSI network, shown at the Festival of Economics at the University of Trento, and we encourage submissions to the panel can come in the form of email questions, tweets, and via facebook.
