IIPPE Training Workshop - Privatisation through Time and Space Elisa Van Waeyenberge (SOAS) Jasmine Gideon (Birkbeck) Gabriela Alvarez (Birkbeck), Elaine Unterhalter (UCL) and Lynsey Robinson (Birkbeck), IFIs, Neoliberalism and Knowledge Cluster (SOAS, University of London) and IIPPE Training Workshops present: Privatisation through Time and Space, an Interdisciplinary Workshop Elisa Van Waeyenberge (SOAS) discusses privatization of social housing policy in development with an emphasis on the World Bank’s agenda with regards to social housing policy. Jasmine Gideon (Birkbeck) and Gabriela Alvarez (not sure if Birkbeck) discusses the different phases of Neoliberalism in Chile and in particular the conservative resistance to reproductive rights policies in Chile and their link to privatization Elaine Unterhalter (UCL) discusses the expansion of private involvement in mass education systems using the themes of gender, race and class inequalities and their bearings on education. Lynsey Robinson (EQUIPPPS) discusses the Education Commission Report and the funding of education. Participants will discuss how privatisation, broadly conceived as the promotion of private interests in the organisation of social and physical infrastructure, has changed during the ‘neoliberal period’. Central to these developments is how forms of financialisation made possible by privatisation and changing roles of the state have encouraged new forms of private sector involvement in provisioning, with important implications for social and economic reproduction. These developments may also be seen as a form of variegated policy transfer from the OECD to non-OECD countries, aided and abetted by international institutions, as well as a result of policy experimentation through state/finance nexuses. Speaker(s): Gabriela Alvarez (Birkbeck), Jasmine Gideon (Birkbeck), Elaine Unterhalter (UCL) and Lynsey Robinson (Birkbeck), Elisa Van Waeyenberge (SOAS) Event Date: 28 June 2017 Released by: IIPPE Podcasts
