📢 WVSA Webinar - Jointly with RC20 Comparative Sociology of International Sociological Association (ISA)

🗓️ May 5, 2026
🕐 13:00 CET
📌 Topic: Trust and Inequality of Opportunities
🔗 Register: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/FQ0DK6hWQNK_FZN0qp6R0Q

How do unequal life chances shape social trust? Why does trust weaken when people perceive that success depends less on effort and more on family background, inherited advantage, or luck?

In this webinar, Antonio M. Jaime-Castillo from the UNED - Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia, Spain, and Francisco Herreros Vázquez from Instituto de Políticas y Bienes Públicos, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), Spain, will discuss how inequality of opportunity affects the social foundations of trust.

Drawing on European Social Survey data, the webinar will address the distinction between inequality of outcomes and inequality of opportunities, and reflect on the broader implications of unequal life chances for social cohesion, fairness, and democratic societies.

📢📢📢WVSA at EPSA 2026 – Call for Expression of Interest

Dear Colleagues,

The World Values Survey Association is planning to propose several thematic panels for the European Political Science Association (EPSA) Annual Conference 2026, scheduled to take place in in Prague, Czech Republic, from 9 to 11 July 2026. We welcome expressions of interest from researchers who wish to contribute papers to one of the following three panels:

✅Political Trust as a Social Resource: Patterns, Functions, and Erosion
This panel explores how political trust enables cooperation, institutional stability, and democratic accountability across diverse regimes. We invite research that maps the contours and drivers of trust, and how it interacts with political values, governance quality, and civic expectations. Comparative work using survey data, including the EVS/ ESS/ ISSP/WVS, is particularly encouraged.

✅Voters under Pressure: Elections in an Era of Uncertainty
This panel examines how recent electoral cycles reflect adaptive strategies by voters and political systems in response to changing global and domestic conditions. We welcome studies on turnout, preference formation, campaign dynamics, and institutional innovation between 2020 and 2025. Analyses that integrate cross-national perspectives or explore the role of values and public trust in shaping participation are especially relevant.

✅ Polarization as Value Conflict: Beyond Partisan Identity
This panel investigates how value orientations shape patterns of political alignment, public discourse, and civic engagement. We encourage papers that explore structured differences in cultural, moral, or ideological commitments and how these influence democratic interaction. Contributions grounded in comparative survey research and attuned to long-term value change are highly welcome.

Colleagues interested in joining one of these panels are welcome to send their expressions of interest to [email protected] by 29 November 2025. Final submissions are to be made through the EPSA website by December 1 at the latest.

We look forward to meeting colleagues eager to engage with these pressing themes and contributing to a constructive exchange on current developments in political life!

Please note that all conference-related costs are the responsibility of participating authors, in line with EPSA’s standard arrangements.

Sincerely,
WVSA Secretariat
