ISA Forum of Sociology and session proposals.

The 5th Forum of Sociology (ISA Forum) organized by the International Sociological Association (ISA) is scheduled to take place in Rabat, Morocco on July 6-11, 2025. There will be approximately 20 sessions allocated to the RC28. While the ISA welcomes session proposals directly from individuals, we prefer to coordinate the process to ensure a diverse range of topics with minimal overlap are covered at the ISA Forum.

We kindly request those interested in proposing a session to submit their proposals to the RC28 secretary (rc28.emails2023@gmail.com) by 15 June 2024. All topics related to social stratification research – including (new) data – are welcome. Please provide a session title along with a brief summary of the session. Kindly note that although non-members of the ISA are invited to propose sessions, the ISA requires that a confirmed session organizer be a member of the ISA and of the RC to which the session is accepted.

ISA Forum of Sociology and session proposals, April 21 2024

Dear RC28 members,

Below are examples of session proposals that have been submitted in the past for the World Congress:

Social Inequality and Counterfactual analysis

This session welcomes analyses of social inequality in different domains (education, labor market, welfare state) based on experimental and quasi-experimental methods of analysis. Papers that apply these methods to core substantive issues of social stratification research are particularly encouraged, but the session is open also to methodological contributions.

Social Inequality in Access to and Returns from Graduate Education

Social inequality in educational attainment is a core topic of stratification research. Yet, little is known about potential differences (for instance, by social origin, gender or previous educational pathways) at the top level, graduate and doctoral education. This session seeks papers that address either access to advanced higher education or respective returns. Of particular interest are (1) the role of differentially selective education systems in shaping (un-)equal educational participation at the highest level; and (2) how country-differences in labor market institutions yield different returns to the highest level of educational attainment.

With kind regards,

Yuliya Kosyakova

From Are Skeie Hermansen (a.s.hermansen@sosgeo.uio.no), January 30, 2024:

Ph.D. course on the Organizational Foundations of Inequality, University of Oslo, Norway, June 10–13 2024, application deadline: April 21

This PhD course will provide students with a broad introduction to key theories, concepts, and methodological issues related to the empirical study of the organizational foundations of inequality. Organizations play a key role in generating and sustaining inequality, but also in how to make change come about, as they both determine the matching of individuals to positions in the labor market and implement the evaluation and reward structures used to distribute power, wealth, and prestige. As such, organizational practices influence inequality at different stages of the employment process, given that employers manage hiring and job assignments, training and compensation, and promotion and termination processes. Consequently, the distribution of resources and opportunities in society cannot be fully understood without paying attention to the role that organizations, their practices and key members play in contemporary stratification processes and employment outcomes.

Lecturers: Roberto Fernandez (MIT Sloan School of Management), Trond Petersen (UC Berkeley), and Donald Tomaskovic-Devey (UMass, Amherst)

Application form and further information is available here. For additional questions, please contact Are Skeie Hermansen at a.s.hermansen@sosgeo.uio.no.
