The board of the Czech Sociological Association (CSA) in cooperation with the Faculty of Social Studies at Masaryk University invite you to the biennial conference of the CSA. We welcome contributions from all areas of sociological research and theory, based on the ongoing scientific interests of participants.
Deadline for abstract and session submission has been extended to July 30, 2020.
We welcome contributions from all areas of sociological research as per current interests of participating researchers.
At the biennial conference, the General Assembly of the Czech Sociological Association will take place. The winners of the “Miloslav Petrusek Award in the student competition for the best article in sociology published in a peer-reviewed journal in 2019” and the “Czech Sociological Association Award 2020 for an outstanding publication” (for publications published in 2017-2019) will be announced. The conference takes place at the Faculty of Social Studies of Masaryk University on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the commencement of the teaching of sociology at Masaryk University.
The main theme for this year’s conference is the various forms of reflexivity. Reflexivity represents a classic tool of sociological thinking about the nature of the social and of its own scientific practice. We would like to create a space for inner reflexivity – for the relation of sociology to itself. The conference will allow for discussion of the state of sociological thinking and research, the presentation of the latest findings, progressive innovations as well as dead ends. We consider it equally important to explore our own sociological position in networks of relationships and the position of sociological knowledge in public culture – outer reflexivity. We want to look at how sociology enters the processes of construction of societal problems, and how the relationship of the academic sociological field to other scientific disciplines and other fields (economic, political, educational, etc.) is currently formed. Last, but not least, we want to focus on the role of reflexivity as a theoretical concept that allows us to grasp the character of modern subjectivity in the context of transforming social structures. What is the role of reflexivity in sociology and in the lived reality of an era described as post-factual and post-reflexive?
The CSA conference will be held online. The date remains unchanged: June 23 – 25, 2021. The Week of Sociology (June 21 – 25, 2021) will also be held online.
