Members of the ISA and other sociologists interested in ageing are invited
to organise a Symposium on any topic relating to the sociology of ageing,
ideally addressing the Conference theme ‘Ageing Societies and Ageing
Sociology: Diversity and Change in a Global World’. We also welcome offers

debates on a current or controversial topic, or 'meet the author' sessions.
A session lasts 90 or 120 minutes, and usually contains four to six papers.
The session should be as international as possible, and may contain
theoretical or empirical research papers.
Persons wishing to organise a Symposium or other type of session should
email a proposal by 1 October 2003 to Sara Arber, Chair of Organising
