The Annual Conference is always a great success, but don't just
take our word for it - read some of the feedback from delegates at
2010's conference.
"I enjoyed Loic Wacquant. It was that critical, politically
engaged, polemic sensibility that got me into Sociology in the
first place. I went to several streams that were mostly related to
my PhD theoretically, methodologically etc."
"I attended sessions in the Method, Theory and Work streams.
There was a good degree of overlap, and some very interesting
papers. Overall, an excellent conference, my first time at the BSA
conference and I will certainly attend again. Thanks"
"The conference format is excellent in my book. Being able to
follow a stream through is so much better as it's far easier to get
to know people, exchange ideas, and so on. The mobility,
space, and place stream was excellent - thank you John and
Monica!"
"I was impressed with the high quality of papers and how
interesting they were from a number of different streams."
"It was a wonderful conference. For me, it went very
smoothly, had a great atmosphere, BSA staff are superb and well
organised and It was an excellent venue with nice, comfortable
modern rooms."
"I mostly stayed with a particular stream but went to a few
sessions in others that looked interesting. I Particularly enjoyed
the sub-plenary and stream sessions."
"The new format works intellectually and it also helps to foster
a more sociable atmosphere, it was excellent."
"I think the organisers and administration was excellent -
thanks should be extended to all the helpers and those that
organised it - it must be a monumental feat to organise it
all."
"I largely attended the Theory Stream and liked the consistent
location of this stream and the sense that there was a similar
group of people attending the Theory papers - it facilitated
interesting discussions before and after the papers"
"Very good. Excellent support material- conference handbook,
list of delegates etc."
"The dinner was lovely and a good choice of venue as it was
close to the centre and the hotel I stayed in also."
"I did stay with the same stream throughout. This was a useful
way of grouping the presentations as it helped me identify research
that would be of interest to me."
"I have been to a few BSA conferences and this was the best so
far which could have been for a number of reasons, but I do think
it was a good conference and I really enjoyed it."
"The set up was really convivial and gave the impression of
busyness and vibrancy. Really good!"
"I was inspired by numerous papers and thought the streams
worked effectively in general."
"Excellent venue easy to get to and was great to be at a
conference near/in the city centre"
"Accommodation was relatively cheap and it was great to be able
to walk to the conference centre and then to the restaurants in the
evening. It was the perfect location."
