·  Education

·  Law, Crime & Rights

·  Media

* The conference will accommodate three or four open streams of up to 30 papers each. The organisers will seek to arrange abstracts submitted and accepted to the open stream by area of activity. Suggestions for grouped sessions within the open streams are welcomed. For example, groups submitting on a similar topic may mark their abstracts Open Stream/Climate Change or Open Stream/Historical Sociology etc.
