THANKS TO ALL FOR A FASCINATING AND IMPACTFUL SAI ANNUAL CONFERENCE, ON THE 7TH & 8TH MAY
The SAI Annual Conference took place on May 7th and 8th. Thanks to all participants keynotes and helpers. The organising committee were delighted with the outcome after months of hard work. It is the presenters who make it work though, and we would like to heartily thank everyone who presented, and who submitted a paper (we were disappointed we could not accommodate many excellent papers).

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.
