Sorry for cross-posting. The below call for participation may be of interest to some members of this group. Please note there are also bursaries available to attend this conference via an application process.

Undisciplining: Conversations at the Edges
The BALTIC, Gateshead, UK; 19-21st June 2018
 
Call for Participation: The deadline for call for abstract submission is Monday 27th November 2017, 17.00 GMT

In 2018 The Sociological Review will be hosting our largest conference to date! This is a long-overdue celebration of our renewed commitment to fostering collaborations and dialogues that shape the nature and scope of the sociological, to making the sociological matter. Undisciplining seeks to challenge the presumed mainstream of sociological thought, its geographical assumptions and disciplinary hierarchies. 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.

Confirmed Speakers

Professor Amita Baviskar (Delhi University), Dr Michaela Benson (Goldsmiths, University of London), Professor Ben Carrington (University of Southern California), Dr Ayona Datta (Kings College London), Professor Rosalind Edwards (University of Southampton), Professor Val Gillies (University of Westminster), Dr Nicola Horsley (Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences), Dr Meritxell Ramirez-i-Ollé (University of Keele), Dr Deana Jovanovic (Keele University), Professor Alice Larkin (Manchester University), Professor Joanna Latimer (University of York), Professor Jenna Loyd (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee), Professor Anoop Nayak (Newcastle University), Professor Rachel Pain (Newcastle University), Professor Virgílio Borges Pereira (Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto), Dr João Pedro Luís Queirós (Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto), Dr Ruth Raynor (Newcastle University), Professor Jenny Reardon (University of California, Santa Cruz), Dr Anamik Saha (Goldsmiths University), Professor Bev Skeggs (LSE), Dr Tom Slater (University of Edinburgh), Professor Mark Tewdwr-Jones (Newcastle University), Professor Imogen Tyler (Lancaster University), Professor Satnam Virdee (University of Glasgow)

The conference will include our Annual Lecture 2018:
Professor Satnam Virdee (University of Glasgow)
Unthinking Sociology and Overcoming its History Deficit 

We are working hard to develop a lively programme of events. Rather than a classic conference format, we want to encourage different ways of participating, of communicating ideas and research, and providing space for critical and engaged dialogue: https://www.thesociologicalreview.com/events/undisciplining-conversations-from-the-edges.html

You can also listen to our Managing Editor, Michaela Benson, introducing our forthcoming conference and explaining the motivations behind the conference here: https://soundcloud.com/thesociologicalreview/undisciplining-conversations-from-the-edges

If you would like to take part, read on!

Take part

We invite submissions from social scientists at all stages in their academic careers, as well as from sociologically-inclined publics. We encourage submissions across a range of formats including film, workshops, performances, and posters. And if you have an idea that does not seem to fit to any of these formats, get in touch ([log in to unmask]) to discuss it with a member of the organising committee. Please note that we will only be considering applications submitted through the designated online form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1dsj_uFHiUAnZ30fcbWv9VOlWXArpqnAJ-yhzZrjjQH0/edit

Deadline: 27th November, 2017 at 17.00 GMT

Propose a workshop

These should be organised to speak to the conference theme, but the format is up to you. Each workshop will be allocated 1.5 hours, so that is the time you have at your disposal. 
Some suggested ideas for the format are:

*short interventions by up to 4 people (to be named on the proposal) on a theme pertinent to the conference, followed by time for discussion and debate
*author-meets-critics style session
*hands-on participatory activities (e.g. zine-making)
*panel debates
When putting together your workshop, please pay due consideration issues of diversity and equality.
 
Propose a visual or performative intervention

The venue includes cinema and gallery space. We want to make the best use of these, so are seeking contributions that speak to the conference theme in different ways. This might include:

*short films
*art work, poster, photography or other graphic submission
*performances and installations (e.g. dance, storytelling), allocated 1.5 hours

Further criteria

You may submit abstracts for more than one participation format, however spaces are limited to one session per applicant. Should your proposal be successful for more than one format, you will have the opportunity to decide between which one you would like to do.

The deadline for call for abstract submission is Monday 27th November 2017, 17.00 GMT. Late applications will not be accepted under any circumstances.


Full Conference Registration Fee

£100.00 standard, £50.00 concessionary.
Refreshments and lunch will be provided, as well as evening dinner for the first night of the conference.
Registration will open in January 2018!

There are a limited number of travel, accommodation and childcare bursaries allocated to early career researchers (including postgraduate students) and others on the grounds of need (e.g. those in casual employment). Applications for bursaries are open to those submitting participation proposals, as well as those wishing to attend only: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rsmescYsl2prFdKrgJXv0tVMKvmRzTudNZDeppv6cXw/edit
