********* CALL FOR PAPERS **********
sessions on:
GLOBALIZATION: TECHNOLOGIES, ENVIRONMENTS AND FUTURES
at the EUROPEAN SOCIOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION 3rd EUROPEAN CONFERENCE
August 27-30 1997 on the theme
20th CENTURY EUROPE: Inclusions/Exclusions
(deadline for abstracts: 15 January 1997)
WSNers (and W-SNers):
I am co-convener of sessions with the above theme at the
Conference of the European Sociological Association, August 27-30
1997 at the University of Essex in Colchester, north of London. The
other co-convener is Vittorio Capecchi of Dipartimento di Scienze
Educazione, Bologna.
Since WSN has had several lively discussions on
world-system environments and futures (not to mention Eurocentrism)
recently, I'm sure there are a number of you with something to
contribute. We are allocated up to five sessions, so there is still
room for some subthemes to be supply-driven. From my own
interests, I would particularly like to invite papers on the future
implications of globalization/technology for the European periphery
(including non-EU regions like Eastern Europe).
Costs will be reasonable (fee around 100 pounds for ESA
members and reasonably priced room and board), and there are
opportunities for fellowships for Eastern European scholars.
Abstracts (250 words - Deadline 15 January 1997) should be
sent in two copies, one to me and one to Essex, at the following
addresses:

EUROPEAN SOCIOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION
3rd EUROPEAN CONFERENCE
The European Sociological Association hosts its Third European
Conference on August 27-30 1997 at the University of Essex in
Colchester, north of London. The conference theme is: "20th
Century Europe: Inclusions/Exclusions".
The theme will be explored focusing particularly on the issues of
gender, ethnicity, class and age in the restructuring of European
societies throughout this century and the role of European
sociological insights in the understanding of inclusionary and
exclusionary changes.
