These sessions are intended as a forum at which National, Regional, Linguistic and Thematic Sociological Associations, collective members of ISA in good standing, can present:

• The research results dealing with particularly important problems and challenges facing their regions/fields;

and/or

• Particularly influential, specific traditions in sociology

Maximum of 2 sessions may be requested. The format of the sessions may vary and include: presentation of papers, panel discussions, round table debates, poster or slide presentations, and book exhibits, etc.

There is a limited number of slots for Ad Hoc Sessions in the Congress programme, and therefore applications will be evaluated on their strength on the competitive basis.
