Abstract

The conference Shifting Narratives: The Political Economy Of Public Spending, Services And Production (PSSP)" was organised from 27-30 June 2022 by a global diverse partnership of universities, trade union confederations and social movements. Across all 4 days there were about 100 speakers - 66% from the global south, and 58% women, and over 600 registrants across the world. It was not only an academic conference for leading research on PSSP, but also a forum for sharing information and bringing together the experience, insights and tools of academics and young scholars with the social movement activists, trade unions, media and NGOs involved in creating narrative shifts on PSSP. It aimed to encourage collaboration between academics, trade unions and social movements, to challenge mainstream narratives hostile to the public sector, build new narratives and the power to change and define the positive economic, social and political role of public spending, services and production.
The conference partners were:
• Education and Research Institutions: Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose at University College London (UCL-IIPP); Public Services International Research Unit at the University of Greenwich (UoG-PSIRU); Centre for Social Policy Studies University of Ghana (CSPS-UoGhana); Azim Premji University (Bangalore, India) ; Conicet (National Scientific and Technical Research Council, Argentina- via the WATERLAT network; Young Scholars Initiative (YSI).
• Global union federations and international social movements: Public Services International (PSI); International Transport Workers Federation(ITF); Transnational Institute (TNI); Oxfam. The conference was hosted by the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose at UCL (UCL-IIPP), and followed a report on “Narrative Change and PSSP” by the Public Services International Research Unit at the University of Greenwich (PSIRU-UoG). It was financially supported by the Open Society Foundation (OSF), with interpretation financed by PSI. Following the conference, the partners agreed to create a continuing 'Shifting narratives (SN) network'. The full list of the recordings can be found at “Shifting Narratives Conference”
