The Legacy of Colonialism: Origins and Outcomes of Social Protection

The Legacy of Colonialism: Origins and Outcomes of Social Protection (COLSOC) is a research project that seeks to systematically understand how colonialism has shaped the remarkable differences in social protection and investigates its postcolonial outcomes.

This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Grant agreement No. 755129) and is run by a team of researchers based at the University of Bamberg and the University of Bremen, Germany.
