BSA Annual Conference: Sociology in an Age of Austerity

BSA Annual Conference: Sociology in an Age of Austerity
11 to 13 April 2012
Leeds, United Kingdom

Time for sociology to make its biggest impact yet.

We're all trying to come to terms with cuts,
riots, and all the wider consequences. There's a
lot of opinion out there. But how much substance
is there to the debate? The 2012 annual
conference promises to be dynamic, fiery,
informative, and is definitely not to be missed.

Our themes this year are deliberately broad and
all-encompassing, designed to appeal to the
entire spectrum of sociologists and stimulate
lively debate. We're assessing the impact of
austerity on law, families, education,
healthcare, research, and much more. As an
academic, a researcher, or a teacher, you are at
the heart of the discipline. Your voice is
important. Join the finest scholars from across
the globe to lead the debate. Policy makers are
coming to hear what you - the people with real
experience - have to say.

It's time for sociology to make a defining
impact. It's time for the public to know how
important our work is. Help to shape the future
of the world around you this year.

We're now accepting abstracts for this year's
conference, so please take this opportunity to
get in touch and contribute to the debate -
we're interested in all angles, all ideas, every
argument.

The talk may be about austerity, but there's no
limit on thought. We want to show how progress
is made. Come and have your say, or just listen
to what's being said, at this year's conference.
It promises to be yet another spectacular
meeting of minds that stands to offer something
for everyone involved - wherever they stand in
the debate.
