Conferences and seminars

The Anti-Racism Working Group (ARWG) aims to recognize the structures and practices of racism within our field and confront it through the platforming of anti-racist efforts in Sociology and beyond. We invite academics to discuss their recent research with a discussant and join in cordial conversation with our network.

Everyone is welcome. Students are particularly encouraged to attend and participate. For the foreseeable future, all seminars will take place over Zoom. To join our group email list and receive Zoom links please contact Vanessa Barker, vanessa.barker(a)sociology.su.se.

Our Sociology Seminars are given online over Zoom. Seminars with external speakers (and some of the seminars with internal speakers) are open to the public.

Please contact the organizers Daniel Ritter, Stefanie Möllborn or Kieron Barclay if you have any questions.

The Stockholm Session on Migration is a friendly monthly seminar for all those interested in various aspects of international migration. We meet (possibly) every 2nd Tuesday of the month. Each session takes about one hour, the author(s) has 15 to 20 minutes to present his/her work and the rest will be devoted to discussion.

All welcome!

Our colloquia are open for the general public and interested scholars. Upcoming colloquia are announced in the Department's calendar.

More information is available on the department's internal pages and above, under "Anti-Racism Working Group Seminar Series". 

Cultural Sociology at Stockholm University generally meets in the Sociology Department (B900) over lunch on the third Wednesday of the month from 12:00 to 1:00. Cultural Sociology at Stockholm University helps members stay abreast of developments in cultural sociology, improve their own cultural sociological work, and develop networks and collaborations with other cultural sociologists and cultural sociology groups and centers in Sweden and abroad.

The group is open to those who are pursuing or interested in pursuing meaning-centered inquiry in any subject area and using any research method. Since this is a working group, we prefer that participants attend regularly and contribute through active participation.
