Call for new Study Groups

​As part of our initiative for the sociological community to emerge from the lockdown with renewed vitality we are opening a call for up to new Study Groups. The application form is attached here. If you would like to propose a new Study Group we would be delighted to hear from you. The requirements are that the group must hold at least one activity in the year and organise a panel for the SAI Annual Conference, and we provide funding of €500 per year to support these activities. Applications are due on 5th July 2021. We would be delighted to hear from you about this and answer any questions you have, or offer advice on your concept for the group. You can get in touch at sociology.ie@gmail.com.

  • The Biographical Narrative Interpretive Method, Convenor,  Lisa Moran
  • Pedagogy of Sociology in Professional Practice, Convenor - Aimie Brennan 
  • Sociologists who Count! Quantitative Methods Study Group, Convenor – Carmel Hannan
  • Sociology of Harm, Violence and Social Control, Convenors – Katharina Swirak, Andrew Bray , Theresa O'Keefe

A Study Group is a great way to link up with other sociologists from different 3rd level Institutes with shared research interests. The SAI is able to provide a small budget to help the group organise activities, such as symposia, workshops, training sessions and so on. 

If you are interested in joining an SAI Study Group please email sociology.ie@gmail.com

If you would like to apply to convene a study group, we will be opening applications again in 2021. We would be delighted to hear from about this.
