Thematic Groups The on-going scientific activities of the ISA are decentralised in Research Committees, Working Groups and Thematic Groups, each dealing with a well recognized specialty in sociology. These groups bring together scholars who wish to pursue comparative research on a transnational basis and they constitute basic networks of scientific research, intellectual debate and professional exchange.     TG03 Human Rights and Global Justice TG04 Sociology of Risk and Uncertainty TG05 Visual Sociology
