Sociology Study Groups

Are you interested in becoming involved with convenorship of a BSA Study Group? We are recruiting volunteers now - find out more.

The BSA currently operates a network of more than 40 varied study groups, each focusing on a specific area of interest within sociology.

 

Click on any of the study groups listed below for more information. Any BSA member who would like to initiate or start a new study group should first consider the areas of interest already covered by existing study groups, as many topics could be incorporated by these groups.
