September

September 2–5, 2009. 9th European Sociological Association Conference, Lisbon, Portugal. Conference topic: "European Society or European Societies?" The event aims to explore whether to look at European society as an increasingly cohesive entity or whether divisions of nation, class, ethnicity, region, gender, and so on continue to be more salient. Such issues are particularly important for the experiences and management of risk and uncertainty, whether it is about the responses and management of terrorism, climate change, the life course, intimate relationships, or health and illness, and will be discussed in national as well as in comparative perspective. Sessions will also explore recent developments in theorizing and research on risk and uncertainty and will be grouped to produce comprehensive overviews about specific risk issues.
