Guidelines for applying for integrative sessions by Research Committees and National Associations

Proposals for integrative sessions should be submitted by RC/WG/TG in collaboration with National Associations (regular members of the ISA) connected around a debate on a common theme. At least 3 units need to be involved.

Proposals for integrative sessions should indicate

• the name of each of the participating units
• the name and e-mail of the contact person from each unit
• the name and e-mail of the proposal coordinator

It should also provide, in 300 words, maximum, a description of:

• the problematic which will be addressed
• how the participating units will contribute to an integrative reflection about the topic
• the names of the proposed speakers and their themes

Integrative Sessions will be held at 12:30-14:00 during 5 days, Monday through Friday, July 14-18, 2014.

The deadline for submitting proposals is January 15, 2013. Proposals must be submitted to the ISA Secretariat (isa@isa-sociology.org), with copies to Vice-President for Research, Margaret Abraham (margaret.abraham@hofstra.edu) and Vice-President for National Associations, Tina Uys (tuys@uj.ac.za).

The selection of a maximum of ten proposals will be done by a sub-committee composed of the four members of the Executive Committee who sit on the Research Coordinating Committee as well as on the National Associations Liaison Committee, plus the Vice President, National Associations and the Vice President, Research.

RC/WG/TG participation in an integrative session is in addition to the regular sessions’ allocation.
