Subject: BSA Bourdieu Study Group’s Inaugural Biennial Conference 2016 - Call for Papers
CALL FOR PAPERS The contemporary relevance of the work of Pierre Bourdieu BSA Bourdieu Study Groups Inaugural Biennial Conference 2016 Organised in association with the School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies, University of Bristol 4-6 July, 2016, University of Bristol Pierre Bourdieu has been one of the most influential sociologists of the second half of the 20th Century. His work, which has been translated into more than 24 languages, has had a significant impact on contemporary sociology internationally. Bourdieus importance shows no signs of decreasing as newer generations of sociologists unpack and expand his theoretical framework to a wide range ofpresent-day sociological issues and case studies. Nonetheless, previous arguments repeatedly seem to resurface on whether Bourdieus ideas developed over 50 years ago in a different era and the specific context of France are empirically persuasive today. From its establishment in 2012, the British Sociological Associations (BSA) Bourdieu Study Group has sought to critically examine and extend the application of Bourdieusian social theory in contemporary research. This conference aims tofurther this endeavour by bringing together international researchers from different areas of inquiry and stages of career who are using Bourdieu. Through doing so, this three day event will highlight and pull together the various complementary ways in which Bourdieus intellectual heritage is being developed internationally. Keynote Speakers/Panellists: Dr Will Atkinson (University of Bristol), Professor Gill Crozier (University of Roehampton), Professor David James (Cardiff University), Dr Joseph Ibrahim (Leeds Beckett University), Dr Lisa McKenzie (London School of Economics), Professor Tariq Modood (University of Bristol), Professor Diane Reay (Cambridge University), Professor Derek Robbins (University of East London), Dr Nicola Rollock (Institute of Education), Professor Mike Savage (London School of Economics) Professor Franz Schultheis (University of St. Gallen) Workshop Coordinators and Discussants:Dr Will Atkinson, Dr Michael Benson, Professor Harriet Bradley, Dr Ciaran Burke Professor Gill Crozier, Dr Sam Friedman, Professor David James, Dr Joseph Ibrahim, Dr Nicola Ingram, Dr Daniel Laurison, Dr Lisa McKenzie, Professor Diane Reay, Professor Derek Robbins, Professor Franz Schultheis, Dr Derron Wallace
