The SAI Annual Conference takes place at UCC

This May 8th and 9th, the Sociological Association of Ireland Conference is being hosted by the Department of Sociology and Criminology at UCC. While we are running without a theme this year, we expect that discussion and debate at the conference will turn to pressing contemporary issues and challenges.  How do sociologists make sense of these times? How does the contemporary climate shape the research that we do? Sociology is a means of clarification, mobilisation and change that addresses these times, and we hope to hear your contribution. The conference will offer a welcoming and convivial space for the broad sociological community to assemble, discuss and problem-solve. We hope to see you there. Conference Organising Committee SAI Conference Officer: Adepeju Olaide Oti UCC Local Organising Committee: John O’Brien, Brenda Mondragon Toledo, Julius Cezar Macarie, Myles Balfe, Des Fitzgerald, Tanya Watson, Amin Sharifi Isaloo, Billy Goodwin This information and more can be found at https://sociology.ie/event/2025-annual-conference/
