About the Conference
The theme for the 2012 Annual Conference is: 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. This conference showcases the work of scholars at the forefront of the discipline and attracts delegates not only from the UK, but also from overseas.
The BSA Annual Conference is the year’s major networking event for Sociology academics and professionals and includes research papers from all areas of sociological study including interdisciplinary work. High profile plenary speakers include Stephen Ackroyd (Lancaster University, UK); Zygmunt Bauman (University of Leeds, UK); Rosemary Batt (Cornell University, USA); Michael Burawoy (University of California, Berkley, USA); John Brewer (University of Aberdeen, UK).
Over 1,000 papers were submitted for the 2011 Conference which celebrated the 60th Anniversary of Sociology. Delegates attending the BSA Annual Conference include social science academics, social researchers, policy analysts and postgraduates from around the globe. We also have an increasing number of sociologists outside academia attending the Conference. With a broad and varied programme including symposia, panels and special events the BSA Annual Conference continues to be the UK’s leading annual event for sociologists.
