Three sculptures in Bourke St mall, Melbourne

The 2008 TASA conference will provide a forum for re-imagining the contribution of sociology in engaging with major emerging social issues in a period of rapid global transformation.  Contemporary societal transformations require innovative responses from sociology, in terms of the theoretical and methodological tools used, and in exploring creative ways to engage actively with the world. The conference theme Re-imagining Sociology is deliberately broad, and will include keynote presentations workshops and papers around such topics as:

  • Crime and Governance
  • Culture
  • Disability
  • Diversity
  • Economic
  • Environment and Society
  • Health
  • Indigenous
  • Media
  • Method
  • Migration, Ethnicity and Multiculturalism
  • Mobilities
  • Policy
  • Rural
  • Social Networks
  • Social Inclusion
  • Social Stratification
  • Sociology of Mental Health
  • Teaching
  • Theory
  • Work and Labour Studies
