As previously advertised, Prof. Michel Wieviorka (President of the International Sociological Association) will be speaking at Goldsmiths College, University of London on 26/11/2009 on the topic 'What should sociology look like in the 21st century? Critical challenges facing the discipline today.' (see link below).

Mike Bracher (co-convenor, BSA Postgraduate Forum) will be giving a short 10 minute presentation ahead of this, setting out some of the issues, ideas and topics that matter to PG sociologists today.  This will form the opening to a discussion which Prof. Wieviorka will then expand and develop in his seminar.

To inform this presentation, the PG Forum is asking for input from the PG community - what are the issues and ideas in PG sociologists are engaging with, or would like to see more of an engagement with from the discipline?  What challenges do we face as a discipline?  How can sociologists contribute to wider debates and social issues in the contemporary world?
