The failure of much of the world to meet the first Millennium Development Goals of eradicating extreme poverty and hunger by 2015 highlights the need for research to go beyond the measuring of poverty and give more attention to its causes and dynamics.

We invite anthropologists, ethnologists, sociologists, socio-economists, political scientists and development researchers among others to submit paper proposals for our conference on urban poverty to be held at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland on August 2–4, 2016. Keynote speakers will be Harjit Anand, Bipasha Baruah, James Ferguson and Dayabati Roy.
