Details

Organizers of the 2017 North American Basic Income Guarantee (NABIG) Congress invite all philosophers with relevant interests to submit proposals for 15-20 minute presentations to be delivered as part of a philosophy-oriented panel.

Proposals drawing from any branch of philosophy are welcome, provided that they have relevance to the contemporary discussion and debates surrounding basic income.

Held annually in the US or Canada, the NABIG Congress brings together a wide variety of academics, researchers, policy advocates, social activists, government officials and other individuals interested in the idea and implementation of a basic income guarantee.

Topics of other sessions at the 2017 Congress have not been fully settled at the time of this writing. They may include (but are not limited to) the following: past and present pilot studies, welfare rights, degrowth, technology and AI, labor perspectives on basic income, and race and gender issues as they relate to basic income.

Information regarding previous NABIG Congresses is available at usbig.net. Additional details about the 2017 Congress will be available soon at the same website.

Those interested in participating in the panel on philosophy should submit an abstract of no more than 500 words to Kate McFarland ([email protected]) by January 31, 2017.

Selections will be announced no later than February 15, 2017.
