BSA Annual Conference 2012: Sociology in an Age of Austerity

In navigating and understanding the turbulent times in which we find ourselves living, the contribution made by sociology is even more significant. Sociology is uniquely placed to provide insights into the social environment in all its variety, allowing for an enhanced understanding of social movements, political processes and personal troubles.

The papers presented will provoke debate and, through the lenses provided by conference streams – such as social divisions and identities; religion; cities, space, mobilities and place; media, culture and consumption; families, relationships and the lifecourse – will explore the complex interactions which drive social and political behaviour.

SUBMIT NOW! Deadline: 7 October 2011.
