Deadline For Submissions Extended to 14th March 2024 (17:00 GMT)
INEQUALITIES ACROSS LIFE COURSES AND GENERATIONS:
INTERDISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVES
The Society's 13th annual conference will take place on Tuesday 24th - Thursday 26th September 2024, hosted by the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) / Understanding Society, at the University of Essex in Colchester, United Kingdom. Pre-conference workshops will take place on Monday 23rd September.
The overall topic of the conference will focus on inequalities in life outcomes that are experienced by individuals across key stages of their lives and if and how these persist or reduce across generations. Social groupings and identities, whether assigned or chosen, colour individual experiences and life outcomes which may be transmitted across generations. The aim is to generate and exchange information on such patterns and deepen our understanding of drivers of these patterns: micro-level factors such as individual characteristics, attitudes, social and friendship networks, family and household structures; meso-level factors such as local area characteristics, neighbourhoods and communities, and macro-level factors such as national institutions, policies and behavioural norms.
We welcome conference submissions from all areas of longitudinal and life course studies: sociological, psychological, epidemiological, economic, social developmental and ageing processes and functioning within and across life course stages; methods and findings of cohort or household panel studies and record linkage, household, and income dynamics; intergenerational transfers and returns to learning; gene environment interactions; ‘mixed’, and comparative methods; innovative methodology in design, measurement, data management, analysis and research practice (quantitative and qualitative).
This conference will be an IN-PERSON event in Colchester, Essex, England, United Kingdom.
