A seminar with Dr Mary Murphy (Maynooth University), whose research explores transformative models of welfare change.

Mary's new book 'Creating an Ecosocial Welfare Future' was published in May 2023 by Policy Press.

Location: Senate Room, Lanyon Building (and Online)

'A uniquely hybrid approach to welfare state policy, ecological sustainability and social transformation, this book explores transformative models of welfare change.

Using Ireland as a case study, it addresses the institutional adaptations needed to move towards a sustainable welfare state, and the policy of making such transformation happen.

It takes a theoretical and practical approach to implementing an alternative paradigm for welfare in the context of globalisation, climate change, social cohesion, automation, economic and power inequalities, intersectionality and environmental sustainability, as well as perpetual crisis, including the pandemic.'
