Members of RC11 and other sociologists interested in ageing are invited to organise a session on any topic relating to the sociology of ageing, and where appropriate addressing the theme 'Ageing Societies and Ageing Sociology: Challenges and Possibilities'. We also welcome offers to organise other types of sessions, e.g. panel discussions, critical debates on a current or controversial topic, or 'meet the author' sessions. A session should last 90 or 120 minutes, and have four to six papers. The session should be as international as possible, and may contain theoretical or empirical research papers.
Persons wishing to organise a session should email a proposal by 1 October 2003 to Sara Arber, Chair of Organising Committee at [log in to unmask]
Proposals should include:
- a title of the proposed session
- an abstract of approximately 200 words
- name(s) and affiliation(s) of possible authors
There will also be an open call for papers, with a deadline for receipt of abstracts for papers of 1 February 2004. Papers by researchers earlier in their career and doctoral students are particularly welcomed.
The Inter-Congress Conference will immediately precede the British Society of Gerontology conference held at the same venue from lunchtime on Thursday 9 September to Saturday 11 September. The venue at Southlands College, University of Surrey Roehampton is within easy reach of the centre of London by public transport, see http://www.roehampton.ac.uk/southlands/conf.asp
