This is just a reminder that the deadline for abstracts for the British
Sociological Association’s Annual Conference is this Friday (26th). Linda Woodhead
and I are co-convening the ‘Religion’ stream - please find a reminder call for
papers below.
Although the conference theme is ‘The Challenge of Global Social Inquiry’, we also
welcome contributions from other areas relating to the sociology of religion.
Postgraduates are warmly encouraged to send in abstracts.
All the detail regarding how to submit (including abstract submission forms and
guidelines for submission) is available from the BSA website (see below). The
conference itself is to be held at Cardiff City Hall, 16th-18th April 2009.
Best Wishes,
Sarah
