CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The SPA/BSA Study Group "The Sociology of Social and Public Policy" are
organising a One Day Conference:
***THE BODY AND SOCIAL POLICY***
Keynote Address: Prof Julia Twigg (University of Kent)
15th January 2008
Weetwood Hall, University of Leeds
The body has become a prominent concept within sociology and is becoming a
major feature of analysis for those investigating contemporary issues of
social exclusion, welfare and policy. This One Day conference aims to
foster dialogue between sociological theory and social policy through
exploring contemporary debates around issues such as age and ageing, care
and care-giving, disability, health and well-being, social capital and
social exclusion.
We welcome abstracts (300 words max.) from researchers working within and
across the disciplines of social policy and sociology who wish to
contribute to this exciting area of study. Presentations should aim to be
20 minutes in length and will be organised into thematic streams.
Abstract deadline:
30th November 2007
(The final programme of papers will be announced 10th December)
Registration deadline:
20th December 2007
Registration Fee:
£40 (BSA/SPA members)
£50 (non-members)
