What's going on?
SAI Study Group Application Deadline Rapidly Approaches.
The Deadline for New Study Group applications is 1st July. The SAI provides a small amount of funding to allow Study Groups to organise events and activities through the year. These are a great opportunity for a group of researchers in a particular area to get together, form a community of scholars, and ramp up to bigger and more impactful things. We would be delighted to hear from you. Enquiries to sociology.ie@gmail.com please.
Covid-19 Impacts:
In light of the global pandemic, the SAI Annual Conference is rescheduled for May 2021. Considering the uncertainty around travel, and the plethora of rescheduled conferences taking place next Autumn, we have come to the decision that the most pragmatic option is to simply reconvene in May 2021. We were very excited about having Sligo as our destination, so this will be our venue for 2021. Institute of Technology Sligo has once more kindly taken up the mantel of SAI host for 2021.
Conference refunds
Many of you have purchased conference tickets. These will be valid for the 2021 Annual Conference. So if you are going to join us in Sligo in 2021, then you do not need to do anything. However, if you require a refund, you should contact us at sociology.ie@gmail.com, and our Treasurer, Amy, will organise that for you.

A Message to Sociologists, Social Researchers and SAI Members
Sociology and social research in general plays a vital role in Irish society by producing the knowledge that gives us the opportunity to act wisely by giving us maps of the social, which we hope will lead to a better society, better politics, better thinking and better policies. The SAI, as the professional association of sociology in Ireland, is committed to supporting the discipline through fora for them to share ideas, collaborate and disseminate their research. Its strength is its members and their willingness to participate and support the discipline. The Committee give their time for free, and SAI members around the country and internationally build community and critical mass in research areas through their passion in forging networks, organising events, writing and research, editing and peer reviewing, and teaching. The strength and vibrancy of the discipline is based on the input of each member. We hope that you will consider pitching in through joining the SAI and participating in the wider community.
