Call for Papers
International Sociological Association - RC-11 Sociology of Ageing
Inter-Congress Conference
Ageing Societies and Ageing Sociology:
Diversity and Change in a Global World
7-9th September 2004
University of Surrey Roehampton, UK
Hosted by the Centre for Research on Ageing and Gender (CRAG), University of
Surrey, UK
Ageing societies are a historically unique and global phenomenon, which
calls for intensified scientific research into the consequences of this
worldwide development in the years to come: What will ageing societies look
like? In which regards will they differ from contemporary societies? How
does ageing affect social institutions and social structures? Does ageing
imply a shift in power and new patterns of allocating and re-distributing a
society’s resources? How does ageing affect different social groups? Do we
need new social policies to cope with the new demands of ageing populations?
Which factors does quality of life in old age depend on? What are the
implications of ageing societies in different regional, national, and
international contexts?
We invite abstracts for any of the topics outlined above or any other topic
related to the conference theme of “Ageing Societies and Ageing Sociology:
Diversity and Change in a Global World”. Papers with a cross-national,
comparative focus and papers by researchers earlier in their career are
particularly welcomed. Papers may be presented orally or as a poster.
