Call for Papers
We have now prepared the program of the XIV World Congress of Sociology,
to be held in Montreal, Canada, July 26 - August 1, 1998. The Congress
theme will be Social Knowledge: Heritage, Challenges, Perspectives.
Our Committee will be responsible for fifteen two hour sessions. We
hope to be able to accommodate up to 60 papers, about the same number as
in Bielefeld in 1994, although with fewer sessions. The session chairs
will schedule only four to five oral presentations per session, although
more papers may be listed in the Programme Book, and can be distributed
at the sessions. Papers may also be presented in poster format, if
their number justifies this forumula. Everyone listed in the Programme
Book will receive an official invitation to participate in the Congress.
Those interested in presenting a paper should contact the appropriate
session chairs listed in the Preliminary Program as soon as possible,
and forward to them a draft of your abstract by December 15, 1998, at
the latest.
