for the 8th European Sociological Association Conference,
Glasgow, Scotland, September 3-6, 2007

The Call for Papers is also published on the website of the Research
Network on Ageing in Europe:

During the conferences of the European Sociological Association in
Helsinki (2001), Murcia (2003) and Torun (2005) the Research Network on
Ageing in Europe organised very successful paper sessions and discussions.
There was an enormous interest in the ageing topic which resulted in both
a huge number of abstracts and immense interest from audiences. At the 8th
conference of the European Sociological Association in Glasgow (
http://www.esa8thconference.com.), the Ageing in Europe Research Network
will again hold paper sessions that focus on empirical, theoretical and
conceptual aspects of research on ageing. These sessions will continue
on-going discussions as well as adding some new themes.
The RN is now calling for proposals for papers.
Papers should fit into the following thematic areas:
- Ageing and the Information Society
- Senior Markets and the Demand for Goods and Services
- Ageing Societies and the Welfare State
- Diversity, Inequality and Equity in Ageing Societies
- Active Ageing Between Labour Markets and Retirement
- Formal and Informal Care for Older People
- Health, Mortality and the Experience of Ageing
- Informal Networks and Intergenerational Relations of Older People
- Quality of Life in Ageing Societies
- Norms and Values in the Field of Ageing
- Interculturality, Cross-Cultural Comparisons and Ageing
- Images of Ageing and Alternative Approaches
- Ageing and Biography (joint session with RN Biographical Perspectives on
European Societies)
Papers with a cross-national, comparative focus and papers by researchers
earlier in their career are particularly to be welcomed. If you need
additional information (e.g., if you are not sure whether your paper fits
with the theme of a session), please contact the RN co-ordinators.
Individuals should not be the first author (i.e. the presenter) of more
than one paper.
Abstracts should be sent to the Local Conference Organisers using the
abstract submission form on the conference website at
http://www.esa8thconference.com/abstractsubmission/submissionform.php -
choose 'Ageing in Europe' in the list of Research Networks if you want to
give a presentation in one of our sessions.
Please read the submission guidelines before filling in the form! The
deadline for abstract submission is February 28, 2007.
Details about registration will be available later on the conference
website at http://www.esa8thconference.com.
