The British Sociological Association invites submissions to its 60th Anniversary Conference, Wednesday 6th – Friday 8th April 2011, London School of Economics. The 2011 Annual Conference follows the successful new format introduced in 2009. Participants can present on topics they wish within broad streams (and open streams) that reflect the core research areas of the membership: Culture and Consumption, Education, Families, Relationships, Lifecourse, Law, Crime and Rights, Media, Medicine, Health and Illness, Methodological Innovations, Religion, Science and Technology Studies, Social Divisions / Social Identities, Space, Mobility and Place, Teaching, Learning and Professional Issues, Theory, Work, Economy and Society, Open Stream(s)*

* The conference will accommodate three or four open streams of up to 30 papers each. The organisers will seek to arrange abstracts submitted and accepted to the open stream by area of activity. Suggestions for grouped sessions within the open streams are welcomed. For example, groups submitting on a similar topic may mark their abstracts Open Stream/Climate Change or Open Stream/Historical Sociology etc.

All BSA study groups are strongly encouraged to contribute posters/ papers and other activities addressed to these streams. There will also be opportunities for study groups to meet independently.

The Keynote Plenaries and Sub-Plenaries will address the Conference theme: 60 Years of Sociology.
