Background

International in focus and consisting of two types of members (individual and collective), the ISA is a unique organization which brings together sociologists from all continents in the pursuit of scientific dialogue and discovery.

The ISA has 70 Research Committees, Working Groups and Thematic Groups (RCs/WGs/TGs), which cover an impressive range of sub-disciplines in sociology. The Research Council (ReCo) is the governing body of these topic-specific collectives. While ISA in-person Congresses and Forums are already places for the RCs/WGs/TGs to meet and exchange, there has been a vibrant discussion within the ReCo about the need and interest to benefit from our global membership and offer a space for the cross-fertilization of ideas from the diverse RCs/WGs/TGs.

Aims and Scope

The purpose of this series is to:

• Organize cross-cutting webinars that are of interest to ISA RC/WG/TG members, in order to facilitate scientific discussions around current research

• Foster collaboration between ISA RCs/WGs/TGs

• Record these webinars and make them available to ISA members, who can use them in their teaching or other forms of training/engagement

The scope of the series is focused on “Reconnecting RCs/WGs/TGs” whereby we will have thematic sessions that start from a common entry point and explore how the topic is approached differently and can engage different sociological approaches in dialogue among two or more RCs/WGs/TGs.
