Undisciplining: Conversations from the Edges
Tuesday 19th June, 2018 - Thursday 21st June, 2018, BALTIC, Gateshead, UK
The deadline for registration approaching! Registration to close 17.00, Tuesday 5th June for both the main conference and ECR day.
All details below and programmes for both events attached.
Undisciplining challenges the presumed mainstream of sociological thought, its geographical assumptions and disciplinary hierarchies. Our manifesto argues that, ‘to renew the critical and creative appeal of sociology, we need to be responsive to what can be opened up, conceptually as much as practically … about what could be thought differently, and how that creates more possibilities for what could and should be done next, both in the academy and outside of it’.
This event signals our renewed commitment to providing a platform for these interventions and to making the sociological matter. It builds on The Sociological Review’s rich history and future ambitions to bring the conversations at the edges into the centre, to unsettle comfortable and convenient understandings of the social world, and to recognise that the potential of sociological thought and understanding exists through debates that extend beyond disciplines and the university. This is reflected in our selection of venue and plans for the format of the conference.
We will have a wide range of keynotes, plenaries, participatory workshops, sociological walks, visual displays and film showings.
