The School of Sociology Seminar Series brings together social scientists to share their work and to critically discuss the pressing issues of our time. The School’s staff and students explore a broad range of cross-cutting interests, including embodiment and gender, technological change, the social dimensions of work and politics, global environmental change, and inequalities. We welcome speakers from across Australia and the world, aiming to foster meaningful dialogue and debate about documenting and addressing social problems while inspiring new forms of sociological practice.
The series also acknowledges our specific context within settler-colonial Australia, encouraging sociologists to present their work in ways that critically engage with the discipline’s history and future. As a community, we are committed to decolonising social theory, methods and practice and creating genuinely inclusive conditions for the production of social scientific knowledge and education.
