20. September 2019, 14.30-15.40 Universty of Salzburg, Universtätsplatz 1, Room HS 122 This book launch is part of the conference "Migration and Poverty" This Round Table discusses the new publication „Absolute Poverty in Europe“ (Policy Press 2019). The discussants are Ides Nicaise, Patricia Kennedy and Rebecca O‘Connell, three of the authors of chapters in this book, and they will discuss issues of absolute poverty in Europe. About the book: Engaging systematically with severe forms of poverty in Europe, this important book stimulates academic, public and policy debate by shedding light on aspects of deprivation and exclusion of people in absolute poverty in affluent societies. It examines issues such as access to health care, housing and nutrition, poverty related shame, and violence. The book investigates different policy and civic responses to extreme poverty, ranging from food donations to penalisation and “social cleansing” of highly visible poor and how it is related to concerns of ethics, justice and human dignity.
