History of Sociology and Social Thought Section Open Call Paper Session

Tue, August 11, 2:00 to 3:30pm, TBA

Session Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)

Description

This open session aims to promote new research that revisits and interprets both foundational and emerging themes in the field. We welcome papers that explore both classic and current issues, from the key debates of the 1960s and 1970s to recent changes shaping sociological studies.

We particularly encourage contributions that address new trends like open science, cultural literacy, and the impact of AI on knowledge creation, digital divide, social inequality, and scientific work. How do these trends challenge or extend earlier ideas in the history of sociology and the sociology of science? What can the recent rise of the "science of science" in various fields teach us about the changing nature of research, collaboration, and evaluation in light of increased geo-political tensions and decrease in research funding? How might access to new archival materials and bibliometric data lead to deeper discussions about long-standing theoretical debates?

Submissions can take a historical, theoretical, archival, or empirical approach. We want to foster a lively conversation between past and present, encouraging reflection on ongoing questions and current initiatives. We welcome scholars at all career stages whose work critically engages the changing aspects of sociological thought and practice.
