Inclusion has today become a commonplace of political declarations, strategic documents, and institutional reforms. At the same time, however, contemporary societies are facing deepening inequalities, growing insecurity, and persistent forms of social exclusion. Why does this gap exist? This question lies at the heart of the international conference Inclusive Revolution: New Horizons of Social Justice.
One of the key topics of the conference will be dignity as the normative core of social inclusion, as well as the effectiveness of public policies in promoting inclusive outcomes.
A particularly important place in the conference’s conceptual framework will be devoted to the problem of translating knowledge into public policy. This issue is especially significant given that contemporary social sciences produce a substantial body of knowledge on inequalities, discrimination, and the mechanisms of social exclusion, yet this knowledge is rarely systematically integrated into decision-making processes.
The final part of the conference will address solidarity as a key, yet marginalized, concept in contemporary societies.
The aim of the conference is to contribute to the development of theoretical and public policy frameworks that enable inclusion to be understood not as an administrative technique, but as one of the central challenges of contemporary democracies.
The conference will feature scholars and experts from Serbia and the wider region.
