Venue: Glasgow, United Kingdom
The 2010 Annual Conference is the second year of the new conference format. It will be a less theme-led model, similar to that of the ISA. The aim is to widen the participation of presenters and attendees.
Instead of the call for papers being organised under a single conference theme, participants may present on whatever topics they wish within broad streams (and open streams) that reflect the core research areas of the membership. The streams are:
- Crime and control
- Culture and Consumption
- Work, Economy & Society
- Education
- Families, Relationships, Lifecourse
- Media
- Medicine, Health & Illness
- Methodological Innovations
- Professional Forum
- Religion
- Science & Technology Studies
- Social Divisions/Social Identities
- Space, Mobility & Place
- Theory
- Open Stream(s)
There is a conference theme: Inequalities and Social Justice, which will be addressed in both the main plenary sessions and the sub-plenary sessions in each discipline. In this way we hope that more established figures in a number of fields will be represented at the conference. There will also be Open Streams, in recognition that not everyone's field of interest is covered by the main stream titles.
