Renate Minas
Associate Professor, Social Work
My fields of interest are welfare state reforms in Sweden and in European countries with a special focus on social assistance schemes and activation policies from a governance perspective. So I work with questions related to social inclusion and poverty but mostly with a focus on institutions and organisational solutions. That means I ask who regulates, who finances and who delivers a service and how have these structures changed over time. I am also a teacher at Stockholm university/Department of social work.
