Dear Psychosocial colleagues,
Since we last wrote to you the BSA has unfortunately
withdrawn its offer of a dedicated ‘Sociology, psychoanalysis and the
psychosocial’ stream at the 2013 conference. We hasten to add that
we will still have a dedicated ‘sub-stream’ which, as in 2012, will
be located in the ‘Open’ stream and will be clearly identified as
such in the programme. You should therefore continue to submit abstracts
and panel proposals, clearly indicating at the top of your submission that you
wish it to be considered within the ‘Sociology, psychoanalysis and
psychosocial grouping of the Open stream’. Full details are
available at the conference website:
http://www.britsoc.co.uk/events/bsa-annual-conference/submissions.aspx
(Note the last date for
submission of abstracts is 5th October, 2012)
The association has been extremely apologetic about this
reversal and assures us the reason for it is purely technical (it appears the
original decision was not ratified according to proper procedures).
Although we are not happy about the situation, the 2013 conference
continues to be an excellent opportunity for researchers with interests in
sociology, psychoanalysis and the psychosocial to present papers on their work
and to get together for a sustained conversation throughout the
conference. We look forward to seeing you there.
With our very best regards,
