SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
========================
of the Research Network on Ageing in Europe
for the 9th European Sociological Association Conference,
Lisbon, Portugal, September 2-5, 2009
========================
During the conferences of the European Sociological Association in Helsinki (2001), Murcia
(2003), Torun (2005) and Glasgow (2007), the Research Network on Ageing in Europe
organised very successful paper sessions and discussions. Increased interest in the topic of
ageing resulted in 15 sessions at the Glasgow conference. We would like to take the
opportunity to thank everyone who helped to make these sessions such a lively and
stimulating experience, and for their presentations and discussions.
At the 9th conference of the European Sociological Association in Lisbon
(http://www.esa9thconference.com), the Ageing in Europe Research Network will again hold
paper sessions that focus on empirical, theoretical and conceptual aspects of re-search on
ageing. These sessions will continue on-going discussions, pick up the con-ference topic
("European Society or European Societies?"), and add some new themes.
Papers should fit into the following thematic areas:
oAgeing and Technology (AAL, ICT)
oSenior Markets, Consumerism and the Demand for Goods and Services
oAgeing Societies and the Welfare State
oDiversity, Inequality and Equity in Ageing Societies
oActive Ageing Between Labour Markets and Retirement
oFormal and Informal Care and Older People
oHealth, Mortality and the Experience of Ageing
oInformal Networks and Intergenerational Relations
oQuality of Life in Ageing Societies
oNorms and Values in the Field of Ageing
oInterculturality, Cross-Cultural Comparisons and Ageing
oImages of Ageing and Alternative Approaches
oBiography
oTime Use, Cultural and Social Participation
Papers with a cross-national, comparative focus and papers by researchers earlier in their
career are particularly to be welcomed. If you need additional information (e.g., if you are not
sure whether your paper fits with the theme of a session), please contact the RN co-
ordinators. Individuals should not be the first author (i.e. the presenter) of more than one
paper.
Abstracts should be sent via the conference website - they will only be accepted through
completion of the online submission form, and submission in any other form will be declined.
The deadline for web submission of abstracts is 26th February 2009. Please read the
submission guidelines before filling in the form at
http://www.esa9thconference.com
Authors of abstracts will receive an email showing our decision to either accept or reject the
submissions, on or before 30th April 2009. Early-bird registration will close on 15th May 2009.
All presenters (first authors) must register for the conference by 15th June 2009 and the
conference organisers will be forced to exclude authors from the pro-gramme where a first
author has not registered by this date.
We look forward to meeting you in Lisbon!
