Heiner Fechner, Jean-Yves Gerlitz and Jenny Hahs presented three papers at the annual conference of the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics, which took place in New York.

Our project A03 was able to give three presentations at the 31st Annual Conference of the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics (SASE), that took place at The New School in New York City:

• Heiner Fechner presented the paper "Worlds of Labour - Protecting and Excluding Components of Employment Regulation in the Course of Globalisation", written jointly with Ulrich Mückenberger.
• Jean-Yves Gerlitz presented the paper "The Evolution of Standard and Non-Standard Employment Relationship Regulation Around the World: A Sequence Analysis of Regulation Patterns over Four Decades", co-authored with Irene Dingeldey.
• Jenny Hahs presented the paper "International Employment Regulation By the ILO: Will the Hidden Legal Segmentation be Overcome By Recent Universal Legislative Trends?" written jointly with Irene Dingeldey.

Heiner Fechner, Jean-Yves Gerlitz and Jenny Hahs each received very good feedback on their presentations, as Hahs reports. She was also struck by the "inspiring, albeit certainly not uncontroversial, keynote speech" by Marie-Laure Salles-Djelic (Sciences Po, Paris) - "Prometheus to Dionysus: Can We Re-Enchant the Future?", in which she called on scientists to become more activist by saying: "We cannot only keep reading the world and lament ist state, we have to take an active part in changing too!"
