Bettering our 60th anniversary conference this year will be a challenge, but we're determined we can make it happen - just take a look at our world-renowned keynote speakers. * STEPHEN ACKROYD - Esteemed UK sociologist renowned for his work on organisational analysis * ZYGMUNT BAUMAN - World-famous Polish sociologist and author of over 50 books including Liquid Modernity * ROSEMARY BATT - Acclaimed US Professor of Women and Work and international specialist on call centres * MICHAEL BURAWOY - Highly respected Berkley-based British sociologist best known in the UK as the leading proponent of public sociology * JOHN BREWER - President of the British Sociological Association and renowned specialist on peace processes Our themes are deliberately broad and all-encompassing, designed to appeal to the entire spectrum of sociologists and stimulate lively debate. We're assessing the impact of austerity on law, families, education, healthcare, research, and much more. You are at the heart of the discipline. Your voice is important. Join the finest scholars from across the globe to lead the debate. Policy makers are coming to hear what you - the people with real experience - have to say. It's time for sociology to make a defining impact. It's time for the public to know how important our work is. Help to shape the future of the world around you this year.
