Lived Institutions focuses on lived institutions, lived institutional care, and encounters between individuals and institutions, ca 1700s–2000s. We explore the multilayered historicity of the welfare state from below and apply a long historical perspective on institutions and institutional care. The book is edited by Pirjo Markkola, Johanna Annola and Hanna Lindberg. See more: Lived Institutions CFP
Experiencing Society: Lived Welfare State focuses on the experience of society and opens a new approach to how the welfare state is/was lived. We call for a fresh theoretical, methodological and empirical gaze to bridge the micro from-below analysis and macro analysis of societal structures and ideology. As the lived welfare state conveys the multilayered experiences of a modernizing society, the analysis requires a long historical perspective. The book is edited by Pertti Haapala, Minna Harjula and Heikki Kokko. See more: Experiencing Society: Lived Welfare State CFP
