Dear Colleagues,
(Apologies for any cross-mailings you might receive). Please find below information regarding The British Sociological Association Annual Conference 2003
'Social Futures: Desire, Excess and Waste' at the University of York
Friday 11th April to Sunday 13th April 2003
Dominant social discourses within western societies emphasise 'progress' and 'freedom'. This often leads to a celebration of recent global developments, technological change and contemporary cultural experience. The aim of this conference is to question simplistic representation of contemporary social life, and thereby re-assert the importance of a critical and reflexive sociology for a social future.
Conference themes include: Belonging and Isolation; Consumption and Waste; Winners and Losers; Technological Dystopias; Escape Strategies; Teaching and Learning.
Plenary Speakers:
George Ritzer (USA)
Beverley Skeggs (UK)
B.S. Baviskar (India)
