Future Conferences

The Research Committee participates in the ISA's quadrennial World Congress of Sociology.  It also typically sponsors at least one conference between these Congresses.  (See left-hand column and below.)

"Social Justice and Democratization"

• 2nd ISA Forum of Sociology

• Buenos Aires, Argentina: 1-4 August, 2012

• The current debate on religion in the public space has been intense, extensive and sophisticated during the last decades. However, it has not paid enough attention to concepts such as justice and democratization

• The purpose of this RC 22 meeting is thus to explore the relationships between religion, justice and democratization –understood in a broad sense – in the public space and in everyday life. We invite RC 22 members to propose sessions that deal with these subjects, in their relationship with contemporary debates in the Sociology of Religion.
